Fig. 3. From glucose intolerance to hyperglycemia.

Fig. 3

a Starvation causes glucose intolerance, but levels of blood glucose are low due to glucose deprivation. Resuming carbohydrate feeding causes hyperglycemia associated with glycosuria, which has been termed “starvation pseudo-diabetes.” b Chronic rapamycin treatment is accompanied by constant feeding, so glucose intolerance is associated with mild hyperglycemia, reversible by rapamycin discontinuation
