[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2214294"] Thanks for the tag [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER]. I'm preoccupied with other stuff right now, but a couple of brief thoughts to get started. [LIST=1] [*]You need a fasting insulin and/or c-peptide test in order to determine circulating insulin. Setting aside the diet, elevated insulin will make it difficult or impossible to lose weight. This doesn't necessarily have to correlate with glucose. You can still have elevated insulin regardless of the diet and blood glucose. [*]Lipogenesis does indeed require insulin in order to [I]make[/I] fat from glucose, but [I]dietary [/I]fat can be deposited in fat cells independently and does not require the help of insulin in order to do so. In other words, too much dietary fat can still make you fat. [/LIST] Sorry for the brevity. I will have a further think later and return if anything springs to mind. EDITED: if you are registering a high level of ketones then that all but rules out high insulin. That might leave too much dietary fat as a culprit. [/QUOTE]
