Glucose is the main fuel that your body uses to give it energy, just like a car needs petrol to keep it running! Glucose is a nutrient that comes from foods that contain carbohydrate and sugar. It is stored in liver and muscle cells. Glucagon tells these cells to release stored glucose between meals to keep your body going.
