In a biologically normal body, the body's source of glucose comes from ingestion and the diet. Scientific research indicates that in the event of starvation, the body can convert glycogen to glucose in the liver and make glucose for up to 6 hours.
A person therefore needs to eat food (carbohydrates and sugars) to maintain a healthy level of glucose in the blood.
