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

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.

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

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
