Protein can also be fairly insulinogenic.

Protein can be more insulinogenic than carbohydrates. Whey produces a huge insulin spike relative to a fibrous fruit.
Right. Protein breaks down to glucose more than fat does (which is why keto diets recommend moderate protein and high fat). Carbs break down the most into glucose.
