Glucose is VERY related to Diabetes! In fact, the very definition of diabetes is the inability to regulate your body's glucose level.

Glucose is the energy that your body uses to survive. Your brain, muscles, organs, and everything in your body needs it. You store it so your body can use it when you haven't eaten for a while, and when you run out of stores of it, you convert fats and other things into it!

When you eat, you have a massive increase in glucose in your blood (aka high blood sugar). This is when your body gives off a substance called insulin. Insulin signals to your body to grab the glucose while it can, and your cells take it up. When you are diabetic, you do not release insulin like you should. So, your blood sugar will be really high, but your cells will not know to take it up. This is BAD! So, diabetics take insulin injections so their body knows to take up the glucose in their blood stream after they eat.
