  2. The more insulin your body secretes the faster you age. The key to health is insulin sensitivity.

  4. Reasonable chromium supplementation may help:

    Then there is the avoidance of the "whites" such as sugar and refined flour. They promote carmelization at the cellular level. It is this carmelization that ages the body. This is why diabetes is an illness that ages the body and makes it prematurely susceptible to diseases more commonly associated with older age.

    Never eat carbohydrates alone.

    Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to glucose or blood sugar. When you eat carbs, blood sugar rises, followed by the release of insulin.
    Carbs are responsible for raising blood sugar levels so that the release of insulin is triggered.

    always eat carbs with fat or/and protein.

    eat carbs with low GI index.

    don't skip meals

    this way there is no need for your body to release too much insulin

  7. Depends on the carbs, as not all carbs are created equal. You can have a serving of most vegetables without any worries, and some fruits with very few worries. It depends on the glycemic index of the food in question, as you, yourself, pointed out.
