Your body has many processes dependent on glucose, clearly. The brain needs some, your immune system relies on glycogen to some extent, response to stress etc.
Now if you're not consuming glucose directly your body can make it via gluconeogenesis. This so happens to take place in the liver and there is evidence to show an unhealthy liver interferes with gluconeogensis.
Looking back I'm trying to explain the huge discrepancy I've seen in how people respond to low carb diets. Some respond amazingly, feel like they have reclaimed their life within just a few weeks. Others never really do well on it and have brain fog, symptoms of impaired immune response etc.This may be due to impaired ability to make your own glucose
