What works against it
7Substances used against it. Descriptive — not a recommendation to take them.
What you can do yourself
No compound involved — the part that comes down to dose, training and everyday habits. Often the larger lever, and always the cheaper one.
Train, both kinds
Cardio and lifting each improve insulin sensitivity directly — the one lever that works without changing anything else.
Carbs around training
The same amount does less damage when it lands where the muscle can actually take it up.
Dose and duration
Everything that raises growth hormone raises this too. It builds slowly, so a break works better than a correction.
How you notice it
Fasting glucose and HbA1c — HbA1c because it averages months and does not depend on the day of the draw.
