4.2 Insulin Regulation State

Insulin Regulation State describes how strongly insulin occupies long-term energy allocation. It determines whether the fatty acid oxidation pathway can remain stably active.

Insulin is not only a blood-glucose marker in Feline FBM. It affects energy allocation between glucose scheduling and fatty acid oxidation.

Exogenous Carbohydrate Load increases glucose scheduling pressure. A lower-insulin scheduling state allows fatty acid oxidation to stay on the primary path when food structure supports it.

Primary entry driver for glucose scheduling.

Which class the system is trained to prioritize long term.

Repeated scheduling pressure from food structure, not single-bite morality.

Pathway activity co-regulated with insulin occupancy.

Energy-regulation mismatch may surface across digestion, body composition signals, and urinary patterns as observable outputs—not as standalone clinical proof of “insulin disease” in the Feline FBM layer.
