Default In investigating the spikes--

--I would still think it would be instructive to have a longer glucose tolerance test--four or five hours--with an initial draw for both glucose AND insulin levels and then half hour draws at least through four hours with both glucose and insulin levels being measured.

You want to see how the insulin/blood glucose relationship is reacting much more often then every hour, and when exactly the spikes are occurring--and what the insulin levels are before the spike and in response to it.
