When we chronically restrict carbohydrate, our bodies will naturally do everything in their power to conserve glucose, and in most cases gluconeogenesis will be sufficient to meet these lower needs.

Very low - carb diets cause elevated blood glucose due to the body's efforts to conserve glucose by suppressing utilization.

Since carbohydrate deprivation was probably a transient phenomenon in our evolutionary environment, except in extreme environments like the Arctic, it would have been evolutionarily safe to deprive tendons and ligaments of glucose in order to conserve glucose for the brain.
