The incretin effect is mediated by glucagon, making it an honorary “INCRETIN” - so if you’re metabolically challenged i.e. battling to control those post dinner sugar spikes......you must eat protein, along with your carbs. This will get the alpha cells and beta cells, "PLAYING NICELY".

Here is a recap of this video
00:05 More insulin please
00:25 The incretin system
00:54 The original incretin
01:17 Current incretins : GIP and GLP-1
01:40 Meet GIP
02:05 GIP the cheater
02:19 Catching up with GLP-1
02:42 GLP-1 in a box – a solution for type 2 diabetes
03:06 What is in the Exenatide / Byetta box
03:34 The gliptin drugs also give an incretin boost
03:48 DPP-4 inhibitors mean more incretins
04:05 Boosting incretins without drugs
04:25 GIP the two faced cheater
04:50 Beta cells star players in glucose metabolism
05:01 Alpha cells trouble with a capital T – they make more glucose
05:29 Dietary protein sparks glucagon release
05:51 GIP ups the alpha cell response
06:08 The recipe for a hyperglycemic disaster NOT
06:20 There is good and bad in GIP
06:54 Glucagon the honorary incretin

Then you might enjoy this video, which looks at one of the big triggers for GLP-1 release. Once more, carbs are minor players in the biology. GLP-1 release is tied to the presence of bile acids and for bile acids to be in the picture……….. You need a gallbladder and to eat some fat
