What can hyperinsulinemia cause in DMI
weight gain
Dietary recommendations by macro
Carbs: 130g/day or 45-60g/meal
Fats: < 7% total daily calories
Protein: 15-20% of total calories consumed
Why is alcohol a problem?
Inhibits gluconeogenesis by liver (glycogen - > glucose) ->can cause hypoglycemia
When to NOT exercise

General rule for complex carbs and exercise
15g carbs + protein snack
- prior to exercise
- for every 30-60 min exercise

- rapid-acting
- short acting
- intermediate-acting
- basal insulin= very long acting
