This makes sense. To be clear, perceived time is not directly affecting blood glucose, it is affecting speeds of digestive breakdown and/or insulin secretion rates (most type-2s still secrete insulin). Interesting that this study was even run on diabetics at all (as opposed to euglycemic people) - not sure what the utility is there besides them being familiar with continuous glucose monitors.
Participants were instructed to record their BGLs before and after every meal and to complete a daily blood glucose change chart for a week before the experiment.
For one, I imagine getting a group of people with no history of monitoring their blood glucose to accurately track it over a week would be tricky.

Yea true that’s a bit more hands on. I was thinking that they had used CGMs.
