Good question! One-word answer: insulin. Your cells won't take in glucose as food unless insulin is present to give them 'permission' to do so. Therefore the body can stretch out the glucose supply over hours, even days.
If healthy, your pancreas and liver maintain a balance of glucose and insulin in your blood that ensures that you don't run out of glucose, and there's always enough to keep the cells happy.
If you are diabetic, however, this balance is disrupted.
