High circulating glucose, the hallmark of diabetes, is linked to the disease's most serious complications including heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and amputation.

Insulin Resistance is a blanket term for a whole host of health issues that result when (1) our cells can't absorb their needed nutrients, and (2) we have sustained,
high,
circulating levels of
glucose and insulin.
When less
glucose is able to get into our cells, this leads to strong carbohydrate cravings, a ravenous appetite and greater potential for fat storage due to the
high level of
circulating blood sugar [2][12].
When less

high level of
circulating blood sugar
High insulin levels trigger fat cells to hoard excessive amounts of
glucose, fatty acids, and other calorie - rich substances that
circulate in the blood.
To make things worse, because of the damaging effects of insulin resistance and
high levels of
circulating glucose, people with insulin resistance often feel too tired to exercise, are prone to overeating, and have intense sugar cravings.
Extrapolated to conditions of postprandial elevation in blood
glucose and insulin (particularly after a
high - carbohydrate meal), de novo lipogenesis in skeletal muscle, like in the liver, could also contribute to blood
glucose homeostasis by disposing some of the excess
circulating glucose as muscle triglycerides, particularly if the glycogen stores are full.
High circulating blood
glucose can bring about many problems such as eye and kidney disease.
The cells and tissue respond more slowly, resulting in
higher glucose levels
circulating in the blood for longer, which triggers the release of more insulin.
In a longer study35 obese T2D individuals were prescribed a well - formulated ketogenic diet for 56 weeks, and significant improvements in both weight loss and metabolic parameters were seen at 12 weeks and continued throughout the 56 weeks as evidenced by improvements in fasting
circulating levels of
glucose (− 51 %), total cholesterol (− 29 %),
high - density lipoprotein — cholesterol (63 %), low - density lipoprotein — cholesterol (− 33 %) and triglycerides (− 41 %).
The association of changes in
circulating glucose and hormones with brain activation to
high - calorie food images was assessed using whole - brain, voxel - based correlation analyses (Figure 5).
This allows
high levels of
glucose to continue to
circulate in the blood stream, unusable to the body for energy.
