> My idea here is that perhaps some of the issue here is that people like you (and to a non-clinical extent, me) who may have had a very bad diet in the past kick our bodies into this "mode", for lack of a better word, we find we have to watch our carbs relatively closely. Or perhaps for some people, their genetics simply start them there.
For me there is a strong genetic component. Practically every member of my extended family on one side of my parents is either pre-Type 2, or is full-blown Type 2. Did not know this growing up, and dutifully ate a diet laden with starches, which came to bite me in the ass in a big way as an adult. The rest of the immediate and extended family is now aware, and knows that I'm living proof that if they catch the same subtype, it can be prevented and (if too late) reversed without resorting to medication, and hopefully I stop it dead in its tracks with my generation, and it never gets even a toehold in future generations of my family.

This is why open source and open data is so critical to scientific research moving forward. My hope is either JupyterLab or some project like it with massive collaboration and scaling becomes the standard way to present scientific findings in the future, and all raw data and software tooling used becomes accessible by anyone. Then we could definitively answer questions like yours.
