Conversely, within non-diabetic populations, periods of IER (75 - 85 % ER on restricted days) do not typically affect fasting
glucose levels 37, 41, 45, 48 or HbA1c 41, 48; results of which can often be replicated by short term CER studies.62 - 65These findings are unsurprising given that frank hyperglycaemia within the T2DM diagnostic range is effectively a late - stage manifestation of IR, which along with compensatory increases insulin secretion, can precede the onset of T2DM by many years.66, 67 Findings from one large scale prospective cohort study, Whitehall II, reveal a sharp increase
in the trajectory towards fasting hyperglycaemia which is only detectable three years prior to diagnosis with T2DM.67 Consequently, it can be argued that changes
in circulating insulin concentrations, fasting (hepatic) insulin sensitivity and
glucose uptake / clearance are more sensitive markers of deteriorating
glucose control than fasting glycaemia
in non - diabetics.68 - 70

in the bloodstream while you are at rest.
In everyone, when one eats starches it quickly turns to sugar,
glucose, fructose, galactose, etc. that will
circulate and glycate the collagen that lines the arteries causing inflammation and cardiovascular disease and all of the other adverse effects of glycation.
When you eat the
glucose, there are different effects than if your liver makes it, namely it
circulates for hours and leads to a spike
in insulin and leptin, that
circulates for hours, that over time will contribute to insulin and leptin resistance... that ultimately contributes to metabolic chaos resulting
in chronic diseases of aging including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, autoimmune disease, cancer, and others.
This way,
glucose is delivered to where it is best used rather than
circulating in the bloodstream.
High insulin levels trigger fat cells to hoard excessive amounts of
glucose, fatty acids, and other calorie - rich substances that
circulate in the blood.
Both the starches and sugars found
in these foods are converted into
glucose, the main sugar
circulating in your blood, during the digestion process.
Artificial sweeteners will raise insulin which will stay
circulating in the blood as there is no
glucose for it to break down.
This opens a window
in the cell that allows
glucose to flow into the cell through a concentration gradient where it can be metabolized for energy while lowering
circulating blood sugar to stable levels (9).
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.
Glucose breakdown triggers its absorption and puts off elevated amounts of undigested sugar from
circulating in the blood, preventing sugar spikes.
This is because some of those carbs that are converted to fats wind up being deposited first the liver, then
in organs and tissue around the waistline creating «bellyfat» (or, as Dr. William Davis terms it «Wheatbelly» due to the particularly insidious
glucose spike caused by wheat consumption) while the rest of those VLD's and Triglycerides are spit out and
circulating in the bloodstream and wind up on your blood panel!
When large quantities of
glucose are eaten, it
circulates to virtually every cell
in the body, helping disperse this load.
Insulin also tells the liver to stop making
glucose and the muscles to store fat (as there is sufficient energy
circulating in the blood as
glucose).
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.
This type of diet also keeps your brain functioning well as the brain runs off of
glucose, (ketones too which will be discussed later), and you should have plenty stored
in your liver and
circulating in your blood to provide adequate sugar.
As expected, the lower - carbohydrate diet resulted
in significantly greater levels of
circulating ketones (∼ 3 mmol / l), which was strongly associated with a lower hepatic
glucose output.
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 %
