Have you ever gotten fasted insulin bloods drawn? You’d need to get the HOMA-IR score shooting for 1 as the optimal value. How’s your cholesterol? Less than 1g of LDL means pretty much no inflammation to be found.
This can be achieved naturally with a proper low fat, low GI diet. Tubers, some fruit = plenty of natural sugar.
As mentioned above, using acidic tools to improve digestion is going to help tremendously.
I was IR months ago, but based on this bloodwork maybe not any more? I'm still heavier than I'd like, but lost 55 pounds using LC from Jan to July.
Fasting glucose 84 (65-99)
A1C 5.0
Fasting insulin 5.8 (2.0-19.6)
Total cholesterol 184 (<200)
HDL 57 (>50)
LDL 110 (<100)
Reference ranges are in parentheses. I take a baby aspirin and 2 grains Armour, supplement mag, D and a couple others. Not using niacinamide or E at the moment. Slowly raising carbs but am at about 50/25/25 CFP.
