Glucose is absorbed through the small intestine into the capillaries. There are millions of villi (finger-like projections) that line the inside of the small intestine to increase its surface area for absorption. Villi have a very rich blood supply, so the glucose can be absorbed quickly and the blood is taken away quickly, maintaining a steep concentration gradient for more glucose, and other food, to be absorbed.
Glucose molecules enter a cell through its channel protein, or gate. Large molecules, like glucose, are too large to slide through pores in the membrane, so it relies on the gates. Gates are specifically made for a certain molecule the cell needs, and only glucose can get in through a glucose gate.
A transport protein is used to cross the lipid bilayer

Glucose gets into the cells by facilitated diffusion. This allows glucose to move from a higher to a lower concentration area.
Mainly, glucose gets into the cells through active transport and diffusion. The kidneys and GI tract are the main organs that absorb glucose into the cells.

It is actually glucagon hormone, which converts glycogen to glucose . researches have found that there is certain cells in the liver cells that help to convert glycogen to glucose . so as glycogen is converted yo glucose, glucagon secreted by alpha cells of pancreas this way it promotes glucose utilisation in the body cells
The circulatory system transports the substances in your blood to your body cells.
Insulin...When the blood-sugar level in your body is too high, your pancreas produces more insulin which then allows the glucose to be absorbed by body cells. The glucose level will then reduce. When the Blood-sugar level is too low, your pancreas does not release insulin, which mean that less glucose is absorbed in body cells. The glucose level in the blood is therefore increased.
Not always, only when your body cells run out of energy.
In the human body, glucose is stored in the cells. The function of the stored glucose is the secondary energy storage. The primary energy is stored in the adipose tissue.

Insulin is important for the body because it helps glucose enter the body's cells. The glucose is then used for energy.
