Insullin resistance is 100% a deficiency of chromium and Vanadium.
Dr Wallach has done several youtube videos on this exact issue.

Nope.
Not even close.
I’ve supplemented with both of those for years. Still wildly insulin resistant.
Look up ‘Dr. Fung’ on youtube.
Know how the bible says fast one day a week? THAT’s the cure for insulin resistance. Along with NOT eating 6 small meals per day. Or eating trans fats.
What’s FIXING my insulin resistance pronto, that I never would have done if I’d listened to ‘medical assvice’ is fasting. I’ve lost 30+lbs and now stand closer to ‘non obese’ than I have been in 20+ years. I’m currently on day 4 of a 7 day fast. Water fasting. And amazingly enough it’s all from my giant insulin resistant belly. And thanks to autophagy (look that one up), I have zero issues with excess skin anywhere so far. And it’s ‘doable’ indefinitely. Doesn’t require special expensive meals or measuring this or that small tiny amount of rabbit food for the rest of my life. When I break my fast I eat really good quality low carb (keto) food. I’d been doing keto since November and lost some weight but being middle aged it wasn’t moving along with any great speed. I thank God for the freeper who pointed me toward Dr. Fung’s lectures and blog.
One of my great aunts fasted. We thought she was kinda nutso. She lived to be 6 months shy of 100years old. With zero medical issues. No BP meds, no diabetes, not really even any arthritis until she was near passing. No heart issues, no hip replacements no knee replacements, nada. Died peacefully in her sleep. And sharp as a tack till the last 6m of her life.
I realize now that’s because she fasted 2 days per week and did what we now call intermittent fasting the other 5 days a week. She never ate anything after 4pm. She had full siblings and children who didn’t follow her eating plan. All were overweight/obese by their 50’s. Her doctor tried for years to get her to follow ‘standard dietary advice’. She basically told him to sod off for that. She ate lard, despised vegetable oils (they taste weird she said), ate butter and lots and lots of bacon. Never larger than a size 8 her whole life.
