Magnesium, strength training ( bodyweight movements or weights ) reliably lower the amount of insulin I need ( Type 1 Diabetic )

I use Jessie's hacks. I have not used a continuous glucose monitor, but I am confident that the hacks work.

Observations from using a continuous glucose monitor - Jessie Inchauspé

Jessie Inchauspé has written a book about the strategy that she developed to keep her blood sugar levels from getting too high and then rebounding so that it is then too low. It not changing what is put on your plate but rather changing the order that your r eat the macronutrients on your plate...

What source of magnesium do you use? And when do you take it? (evening/morning)

I take my magnesium with meals three times a day. Insulin has been shown to be integral to magnesium transport into the intracellular environment. My goal is to maintain good intracellular magnesium levels.

But I think magnesium at any time is generally beneficial.

I sometimes take magnesium outside of meals. If my blood sugar is running a little high, I will nibble a little magnesium and it invariably will lower my blood sugar level to a good number.

I'm just taking magnesium oxide but all magnesium is probably pretty good. Magnesium oxide seems to be effective for me and is relatively cheap. I've used magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium taurate with similar effects.

A good article on magnesium and insulin resistance. And magnesium and insulin transport:

Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, and Insulin Resistance: The Role of Intracellular Magnesium

Abstract. Magnesium is one of the most abundant ions present in living cells and its plasma concentration is remarkably constant in healthy subjects. Plasm
