Can somebody tell me something about insulin blockers?
Insulin is the hormone of aging.
Can we use a insulin blocker to keep insulin levels low?
And is it safe to use?

Before you decide to figure out a way to block insulin, you should probably buy life insurance and pick out a coffin.

Insulin levels are a reflection of your metabolism.
You should change your question to "What methods lower my body's need for insulin?".

Be very careful. Once you get to 40, you're in the seizure range. Wouldn't want that to happen as you drive down the road. They'd take away your drivers license.So can I reduce this [bG] number to let’s say 20 (also in the normal range) by taking a supplement?

How does one prevent Insulin from getting too high?? My chronic low cortisol and high insulin cause me to be a constant state of Hypoglycemia, intense hunger, frequent urination, negativity, cognitive problems, sluggish energy and worthless life.
I could severely use some insulin reduction and generally more stable blood sugar. Consuming more sugary foods just skyrockets my insulin levels and the opposite effect is often achieved.

Metformin
Thanks. I been meaning to get it. It is my next thing to try when I see my doctor in January. Hopefully he will prescribe. Do nootropic shops at all sell it?

If your insulin is constantly high your lifestyle has to change, you probably don't like to hear that therefore drugs will be your only option left: not a smart choice indeed.

Berberine has a similar effect to insulin, which is enhanced with baicalin. Add some chlorogenic acid, scutellaria herb and either resveratrol or ferulic acid, as this should promote healthy glucose levels in those cases where it is elevated. works well in mice. Metformin can be bought online from Indian pharmacies who are rather loose regarding prescriptions, and customs are not likely to seize it. There is a very slight risk of potentially fatal lactic acidosis, which is why they like to have a doctor monitor it. Mushrooms tend to lower blood sugar, cremini, porcini or white buttons, shiitaki doesn't do this so much though the have other benefits. Red wine in moderation lowers blood sugar. 5 to 10 ounces with a meal depending on your size and tolerance. Eating cheese or nuts for snacks should satisfy without spiking blood sugar. Vigorous aerobic exercise that elevates the pulse to 130 or more will tend to lower one's fasting blood glucose when engaged in on an ongoing basis. Avoid white rice and bread. Eat no sugar-added foods, nothing with added fructose either, Fruit in extreme moderation, berries are OK. Avoid long term use of opiates (causes hypogonadatropic hypogonadism, which leads over time to elevated blood sugar and diabetes, as well as hypothyroidism. Interferes with the pituitary axis.) It is possible that fluoride in drinking water contributes to diabetes risk, it definitely correlates with hypothyroidism.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I assure you my lifestyle is not the problem. I have been damaged by accutane, resveratrol and suffer from low cortisol, super low testosterone, low estrogen, hypoglycemia, low dopamine (catecholamine testing or whatever it's called), supressed ACTH and problems across the board. I am 5'7 and weigh 118. I am not physically out of shape by any means. My body is not able to produce proper hormones on it's own. And controlling my blood sugar is not easy either.
I eat healthier than most, work out sufficiently without much benefit. I do not smoke, do not drink, do not engage in any unhealthy activity. It's just my reality.

Thank you so much for the wealth of information. Are most of these primarily for lowering blood sugar or do some modulate/balance blood sugar as well? My problem generally is with low blood sugar rather than high.
I been replacing white rice and replacing rye and sourdough bread w glutino gluten free bread. As I am not sure what regular breads would be good for me. Occassionally will indulge in regular breads/buns but not often.
Resveratrol used to help me for mood and general health few years ago but eventually wrecked havoc on my collagen/copper levels and possibly other factors. Ended up with collagen loss on my face (profound wrinkles near eyes) and loss of feeling in certain areas of my finger tips.

Have a look at the Jiaogulan (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) extract, it's pretty effective in respect to insulin sensitivity etc.

Instead of focusing on insulin I'd rather try to figure out what's wrong in the bigger picture, a picture where all hormones seems to be extremely low but insulin deserves something more than just an insulin blocker because even given that an effective way to reduce insulin will be implemented the quality of life/health would unlikely be much better anyway, therefore therapeutically focusing on insulin is kind of pointless in my view.
When somebody health is a wreck but keeps stating that there is nothing wrong with the actual lifestyle I am kind of puzzled...

If you are interested in supplements that can lower your insulin you can check my post were I tested on myself influence of different supplements on fasting insulin
