Hey, good catch! I ate a tub of artisan sorbet locally made. It didn't have a nutrition info label, but I am guessing it was mostly fructose (from the fruit) and maybe some sucrose (from cane sugar) as well. I assumed it would be processed roughly the same as glucose, being all simple sugars. I guess it's good news for eating healthy sources of carbs like fruit. I'll redo the test with straight glucose, then.

This week I saw my doctor and based on what I was telling him he ordered some sort of diabetic panel. I know it contained the hbA1C, serum insulin, and one or two other tests. Also a lipid panel. So... I'm really interested in the A1C results since that will show a better picture. I'll know more in two weeks when I go back to discuss results.
