I doubt it's that I'm not burning it. I'm pretty active, and have to make
a particular effort to eat enough that I don't lose weight. Besides, my
FBG isn't that high (99), just higher than I'd like. FWIW, I am not
aiming for zero-carb, or even particularly low-carb (I eat a couple of
pieces of fruit a day, and sometimes some root vegetables like carrots or
sweet potatoes), nor am I aiming for glycogen depletion or ketosis. I'm
just aiming to stay healthy into old age.
As for metabolic problems -- like what? (I'm genuinely curious.)
