article: You can track your insulin levels by getting your doctor to order blood tests that focus on insulin, as opposed to blood sugar. Aim for a “fasting insulin” test that reads less than 55 pmol/L (8 mIU/L ). Depending on what your doctor suggests, you may want to get these tests done as frequently as every 2 weeks. If you are deficient in magnesium, this can contribute to the development of insulin resistance. To balance this out, add more green leafy vegetables into your diet. Aim to eat at least 1 salad or greens-based meal per day. You can also snack on nuts, like walnuts, or legumes to get an extra magnesium boost.  Adding magnesium alone will not have much of an impact on your insulin resistance. You should make this change along with other lifestyle changes. If you’ve tried to make dietary changes, but are unsure if they’ve worked, talk with your doctor about taking a magnesium supplement. Vitamin D helps your body to properly process glucose and maintain proper blood sugar and insulin levels. You can get some vitamin D from natural sunlight or by eating certain foods, such as eggs. Talk with your doctor about combining a supplement with a healthy diet.  A person younger than 70 should get at least 600 International Units (IUs) of vitamin D each day. This amount raises to 800 or more IUs for older persons. While vitamin D is a necessary nutrient for healthy blood sugar, just adding vitamin D to your diet will not fix your insulin resistance unless you also make other healthy changes to reduce insulin resistance. If you’ve met with your doctor about your insulin resistance, they might put you on a regulatory medication, such as metformin. This medication is designed to control blood sugars and lower insulin resistance if you have signs of early diabetes. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of short term treatment with metformin.

article: Place 1 3/4 cups (395 g) of ketchup 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) plus 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water, 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of cider vinegar, 1⁄4 cup (59 ml) plus 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of white vinegar, 2 1/4 teaspoons (9 g) of brown sugar, 2 1⁄2 tablespoons (37 ml) of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon (8 g) of chili powder, 1 tablespoon (6 g) of ground cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) of kosher salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons (3 g) coarse black pepper in the saucepan. Stir the sauce until the sugar is dissolved and heat it until the spices dissolve. Avoid bringing the sauce to a boil or it the sugars could burn. Turn off the burner and pour the sauce over sliced or smoked meat. You can also use the sauce like a marinade for flavoring meat or poultry before you cook them. To store the sauce, put it in an airtight container or squeeze bottle and refrigerate it for up to 1 month.

article:
You can easily boil the maple seeds whether you’re at home or on the trail. All you need is a pot and a flame. Start by loading the seeds into the pot, then fill it with water. The pot doesn’t need to be completely full. Use enough water to cover all the seeds. Bring the water to a boil, and then lower the flame so the water simmers. Leave the pot on the flame for 15 minutes.  If you're doing this on a campfire, control the amount of heat on the pot by raising or lowering it. Turn the flame up if the water stops bubbling. Use a strainer and pour the water and seeds through it. Then pour the seeds into a bowl and let them cool. When the seeds are cool enough, squeeze a few to make sure they’re soft. If they’re still hard, they weren’t boiled enough. Boiling improves the taste of maple seeds, but you can also add whatever flavors you like. Salt, pepper, butter, and other spices all jazz up the seeds and add flavor. Cinnamon adds a nice touch to a fall meal. Remember to just lightly season the seeds. Take a pinch in your fingers or in a spoon and sprinkle it over the seeds. Taste them and see if you need more flavor.
