Glucose utilization

Glucose utilization is how your body uses sugar from food for energy. When you eat, your digestive system breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which enters your bloodstream. Your cells then take in glucose with the help of insulin, a hormone that acts like a key, opening cells to allow glucose inside. Once inside, glucose is either used immediately for energy or stored for later. This process provides fuel for your muscles, brain, and other organs, helping them function properly. Effective glucose utilization is essential for maintaining energy levels and normal blood sugar balance.
