Sleep. Good sleep. Whatever that is.
chromium doesn't seem like a good idea. Ray says it isn't.

How much do you take for those effects? Do you ingest it with meals? As for the heartburn and alkalamazing effects, @Amazoniac may want to read about them.Apple cider vinegar.
Based on personal experience, I found ACV to be a powerful and effective remedy, while cinnamon is also effective, as pointed out above.
ACV has been shown to raise (post-pandrial) insulin sensitivity by 34%, and studies indicated that ACV possess physiological effects similar to diabetes drugs such as acarbose or metformin, likely via the acetic acid in ACV suppressing disaccharidase activity and raising glucose-6-phosphate concentrations in skeletal muscle.
Vinegar Improves Insulin Sensitivity to a High-Carbohydrate Meal in Subjects With Insulin Resistance or Type 2 Diabetes ("Vinegar Improves Insulin Sensitivity to a High-Carbohydrate Meal in Subjects With Insulin Resistance or Type 2 Diabetes."
I believe part of the mechanism may also involve ACV's role in countering acidosis (via its alkalizing effect, e.g. ACV is one of the most effective remedies for heartburn), with acidosis known to be a cause of insulin resistance. See e.g. below:
Metabolic Acidosis-Induced Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Risk ("Metabolic Acidosis-Induced Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Risk.") ["Many recent epidemiological studies link metabolic acidosis indicators with insulin resistance and systemic hypertension. The strongly acidogenic diet consumed in developed countries produces a lifetime acidotic state, exacerbated by excess body weight and aging, which may result in insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, contributing to cardiovascular risk, along with genetic causes, lack of physical exercise, and other factors."]
Of some interest, and purely based on personal experience, is the fact that I also found ACV to have a powerful (positive) impact on (male) libido. Not sure what the mechanism is, likely because of its impact on cholesterol, which is a precursor and building block of testosterone and other steroid hormones.
Make sure you get raw and unfiltered ACV, not the clear, amber-colored stuff you find in supermarkets. You can find the unfiltered variety in any good health food store.
Energy usage of the body comes in 5 stages:
We take 2-3 days to reach stage four and that’s when actual fasting begins.
- Directly from the food in your stomach/GI.
- Glycogen from your liver.
- Glycogen from your muscles.
- Ketosis: from your adipose tissues (fat deposits).
- Starvation: from your vital organs and tissues.

It can only counter acidosis if it's through some indirect means, for example improving digestion and so metabolism. Otherwise it increases acidity, unless it has been neutralized. But no one consumes in enough quantity to be concerning.How much do you take for those effects? Do you ingest it with meals?
