Fat raises insulin too, it just takes longer, and lasts longer as well.
"While your insulin levels will increase over the short term in response to food, the insulin produced across the rest of the day is proportional to the amount of body fat you currently hold in storage. The more body fat you have the higher your insulin levels will be across the day."
Dr. Ted Naiman's graphic of Hyperinsulinemia as a dam was helpful for me to understand this function:

Quote:
Insulin is the hormonal signal that raises the dam wall to slow the flow from stored energy via our liver while the energy in our bloodstream is being used up.
The more fat you have to hold back in storage, the higher your insulin levels need to be.
This helps us to understand why many people low carbers who are obese have high fasting insulin levels. Even though they may be eating minimal amounts of carbs and protein in an effort to keep their insulin levels low, their body is keeping insulin high in an effort to hold their energy in storage until the energy in their bloodstream is used up.
