Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

The glucagon component looks paradoxical and is not.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. The counter-case has not been addressed. Somebody upthread described the situation that does not fit, and the thread moved on rather than engaging with it, which is the failure mode this board is supposed to avoid.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. The boring version of this is the one that works, and the boring version is: measure a baseline, change one variable, wait, measure again under the same conditions. Nobody wants that answer and it is still the answer.
