I wish they would have tested further out than 120 minutes in case part of the effect was not digesting the carbs until later (vs just lowering spikes). One of the books I read on blood sugar talked about some hard to digest pasta that will take 3-5 before the glucose spikes up from it.

Saw another study mentioned in comments that had 24 hour glucose levels and there are definitely higher spikes for carb first for both T2 diabetics and people with a normal glucose response. One thing to note is that protein/veggies first didn't spike as much, but the glucose levels were also much slower to return to baseline. So I would call it a win, but not an absolute for T2 diabetics. It was a total win for people not glucose impaired.
