The specific reasons identified include intensive insulin therapy, decreased renal function, severe liver disease, alcohol ingestion, defective counter regulatory hormone release, missing meals/fasting, and gastroparesis
In addition, microbial functional profiles characterized by increased representation of LPS biosynthesis and branched-chain amino acid metabolism-pathways previously linked to insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation, have been hypothesized to contribute to reduced metabolic responsiveness
