By insulin load i just mean total insulin. You diabetics know exactly how much you use in a given day, but regular people produce similar amounts automatically. The idea is that in the modern diet we consume too many calories mainly from energy dense foods such as carbohydrates which cause more insulin spikes and overwork the pancreas, eventually leading to destabilization and metabolic syndrome (type 2 diabetes and associated diseases). We haven’t had enough time to optimize for these conditions.
