Reply With Quoter-ALA or ALA will help but you need twice the dosage of ALA. I would take 300 mg of ALA before and after training. getting in enough fiber will also help increase insulin sensitivity, aim for at least 30 grams a day and keep the saturated fat intake low (less than 25% of total fat)...
you can try Chromium/Vanadium but IMO ALA is the way to go especially since it is a great antioxidant for the liver and for fight free radicals...

Glucose Uptake
Can someone tell me if there are any current supplements that are used for say shuttling excess sugar or carbs into the muscles for proper use? I use Alpha Lipoic Acid and am considering possibly Chromium/Vanadium/Zinc or ZMA,but I'd like to know what the best ones are.

Glucose Uptake
I don't think I want to increase insulin sensitivity,since I think it's already sensitive. I think I have blood sugar issues,specifically that hyperinsulin thing,where even if I eat the slightest amount of carbs I blow up.
