This article explores the process of gluconeogenesis, its role in metabolism, and its implications for clinical practice. It delves into the biochemical pathways involved in this process, its relationship with hypoglycemia during fasting and exercise, the impact of gluconeogenesis on diabetes management and blood sugar control, and its evolutionary significance. In addition, it examines the link between gluconeogenesis and ketone production in low carbohydrate diets and outlines future research directions.
