From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900484/
They state in part:
/Stevia, the common name for the extract stevioside from the leaves
of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, is a natural, sweet-tasting calorie
free botanical that may also be used as a sugar substitute or as an
alternative to artificial sweeteners. Stevia has been found to
increase insulin sensitivity in rodent models (Chang, Wu, Liu, &
Cheng, 2005) and to have beneficial effects on blood glucose and
insulin levels in human studies (Curi 1986; Gregersen, Jeppesen,
Holst, & Hermansen, 2004), which suggests it may have a role in food
intake regulation./
I would say that the jury is out at this point.

Stevia does not cause either insulin spike.
