Can these be effects of Insulin?

Insulin and Its Metabolic Effects(part 1-4)
"Glycation ..

...Glycation damages the protein to the extent that white blood cells
will come around and gobble it up and get rid of it, so then you have
to produce more, putting more of a strain on your ability to repair and
maintain your body.


It sets up an inflammatory reaction. You eat a diet that promotes
elevated glucose, and you produce increased glycated proteins and
A.G.E.s, you are increasing your rate of inflammation of any kind. You
get down to the roots, including arthritis and headaches.

When you start putting people on a diet to remedy all of this, patients
who used to have horrible headaches or shoulder pains don't have them
anymore.

Glycated proteins make a person very pro-inflammatory, so we age and,
at least partially, accumulate damage by oxidation. One of the most
important types of tissues that oxygenate is the fatty component, the
lipid, especially the poly-unsaturated fatty acids, and they turn
rancid and glycate.

The above article indicates many interesting points about INSULIN. One
such effect is quoted above, but others are also interesting.

Can you check up and tell accordingly?

Best wishes.

    ... Glycation of proteins happens in the presence of any monosaccharide, and it turns out that fructose is more chemically active than glucose in glycating proteins. ... So A1c, which measures glycation of a specific protein, will be correlated to the sum of both blood glucose and blood fructose levels, and is actually more highly correlated to blood fructose. ...
