What we have so far
The same glucose load releases far more insulin swallowed than infused. That gap is the gut talking to the pancreas, and in type 2 diabetes it is largely gone.
This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied. That work is not done yet, and nothing here should be read as a conclusion. When the investigation is published it will appear on this page.
