Overview
Glucose is a free sugar circulating in the blood. It breaks down in the body and provides energy for cells to function normally. When blood glucose levels go up, a hormone called insulin is released by the pancreas to aid in its uptake and metabolism by tissues. Abnormal functioning of insulin or uptake of glucose by organs can lead to metabolic disturbances.
