I wish there was something like this to see how foods would affect insulin levels.

I’ve taken to calling insulin the fat storage hormone. Surprisingly glycemic index doesn’t always correspond to insulin level rise.

My father has diabetes and I'm looking to create an app like this. Can you elaborate on your idea?
There is. I heard somebody is doing an insulinogenic index.

Sorry, I don't have a link. I've been meaning to look into it but haven't had the time.

Here’s a start. And it’s intersting reading. https://optimisingnutrition.com/tag/insulinogenic-foods/
