On the short term glycogen stores in muscle and liver would be used to keep a minimum glucose level in the circulation, glucagon levels would increase and glucose would be released from the catabolism of body protein, released from muscle tissue. Over the longer term the nervous system would begin to utilize fat for energy and all protein ingested would be preferentially used to keep some glucose circulating (gluconeogensis).

How can you tell if sugar is removed from the blood?

To determine if sugar (glucose) has been removed from the blood, healthcare professionals typically measure blood glucose levels using a blood test. A decrease in blood glucose levels after a meal or following insulin administration indicates that sugar is being processed and removed from the bloodstream. Continuous glucose monitoring devices can also track fluctuations in glucose levels over time, providing insights into how effectively sugar is being cleared. Additionally, symptoms like reduced thirst and frequent urination may suggest that blood sugar levels are returning to normal.
