1. Intermittent fasting is the single most effective way to control BG. It improves your insulin sensitivity, stabilizes the lows (you can go much lower without crashing), improves your impulse response helping you stay away from nasty carbs, increases secretion of growth hormone which will make you pack on valuable muscles, puts you in a fat burning mode contrary to what everyones belief and also releases chemicals that make you more focused and alert. If you believe in evolution this will make sense. If you're hungry you got to have some energy to find new food (there goes your bodyfat) muscles to move (let's save those) focus (release the chemicals for a sharper mind that won't get sidetracked every 30 seconds) and so on.
When you feed you go into the fed state which is there to store all the energy into the body. The carbs get stored in the muscles and the liver. The basal insulin is there to balance slow steady stream of sugar being released by the liver throughout the day. The fed state lasts around 6 hours or so during which you are storing energy, not releasing. This is also when your growth hormone is at its lowest. So, this is the time to rest.
2. Find and set your basal. I do my Levemir twice per day to overlap eachother due to the imperfect curve of efficiency. During fasting I do not want to be taking any bolus inulin to lower the BG because the body will think you're eating and send you to the fed state. If you are crashing during the fast, that's ok, just eat the least amount of carbs to get you up to where you're felling ok again. When I fast I aim to hoover at 4-5 (75-90) but I can go as low as 3 and still feel ok for 15-30mins. And I work with moving boxes and furniture all day
3. Free weight lifting. Heavy weights. Yes, deadlifts, squats, chins, dips, bench, row and military press.
4. No processed carbs. If it looks different than in the wild, don't eat it.
5. Eating 5,6,7 meals per day is for bodybuilders on the juice. If you eat 5-6000kcals every three days, you'll be fine. The body stores everything, don't worry. On gym days I fast 16hrs and feed 8hrs, 16/8. But sometimes I do 20/4 on gymdays and on off days i only eat once.
6. Wheigh carbs. And write it down along with bolus doses. Eat the same healthy carbs over and over for simplicity in your life. Memorize.
7. Cardio.
8. If you can stay away from animal protein, do it. That shit is cancer. Literary. Also, not good for your cells.
9. Make sure you get all vitamins and minerals into your system. No, not in pill form. Pharmaceutical companies are evil. Biggest insulin manufacturer? Nestlé, hello?
10. Eat medicinal mushrooms. Aloha Medicinals are the best.
