I have found it to increase blood sugars drastically.

    Is a posting board not an appropriate place for sharing personal experiences?

      I suppose I'm sharing my personal experience that anecdotes of this nature are fairly useless compared to the available peer-reviewed large studies we have on the matter.

      This could be a good place for that, but it would bolster your case if you were to add some more details. For example, did you conclude that it increased your blood sugar because you wear a continuous glucose monitor and did a self-blinded home experiment with MSG? Then absolutely yes, your info is incredibly valuable. If on the other hand your data is at the level of "I often feel tired after going to Chinese restaurants", then it's probably not very useful to others. Probably you are somewhere in between these extremes, but in any case offering more background would help others to assess how much weight to put on your observation.

        Yes, there was blood testing data that had skyrocketed and an insulin requirement 8-10 times the normal amount for the given set of carbohydrates and time of day adjustments.
