Wink do you know what your fasting level was?
Did they do an insulin level before the test?

ALA supposedly lowers insulin levels too.

I suspect there was an effect. But how much can only be
determined with the test redone after abstaining from ALA for a while.

People with insulin resistance may show reactive hypoglycemia at 2 hrs, and you did not. So the ALA may be working for you.
Can't be certain however.
