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.)
