The number one factor as you can see from the list is your insulin level. Insulin and leptin are related. Insulin and leptin are good for you. They help you stay alive. But when you have too much of them, it is usually not good and it can backfire. 

The reality is that in your body you only need one teaspoon of sugar in your blood. Most adults have about one gallon of blood and all that you need is one teaspoon of sugar. That is where insulin and leptin can come to the rescue. 

When you eat a meal that is high in carbohydrates or grains, this causes a peak in blood glucose and that is when your body compensates by creating more insulin and sending in into your bloodstream. With time, however, your body becomes sensitized to insulin and with time you may become insulin resistant.

Thus, it is vital to undertake the an insulin level test. This test doesn't cost much and it can literally save your life as it is very powerful. You should work hard so that your level of insulin is below 5, and even below 3 if possible. Furthermore, something that help you normalize your insulin levels is exercise.
