That's called type 2 diabetes too btw.

uhm... if you're eating pizza... you're eating grains and sugars.... which raise your blood glucose levels.

Though some amount of protein - depending on the protein and the ratio of protein to fat can be converted to glucose - where, when in ketosis is stored in your liver. Your liver maintains a constant store of glucose. But eating fat alone will not have an effect on blood sugar. Eating quick to digest proteins like white fish or whey and lean chicken can possibly cause an insulin response if enough is converted and kick a person out of ketosis. But generally speaking, this is unlikely. If your blood sugar is rising in any meaningful way, then that means you need insulin to clear it out and get it into the cells.. an insulin response means you're not in ketosis... which means in turn that you've consumed too much carbs.
