It depends on whether I am bulking, cutting or lean bulking ie how much additional bodyfat I am carrying compared to what I am willing to carry.
Elevated insulin post workout is desired, and when generally bulking I try to elevated it quite a lot throughout the day too. Putting on additional bodyfat is not particularly a problem as long as my diet is kept very clean ie high protein and medium carbs throughout the day. When cutting, I try to minimise insulin levels most of the day (except for after the workout). When cutting (reducing bodyfat) I generally utilise cardio at c50% Max HR for 45min to 2hr in duration, whilst in the fasted state (avoiding elevated insulin before and during cardio) and consume both caffeine and sodium bicarb pre workout to assist in fat burning.

Seems sound. When cutting and minimizing insulin, do you restrict carbs? If so, do you use MCT’s/DAG during these times? Have you had much experience with MCT’s/DAG, and if so, what is your opinion about them?
