Glucose is a simple sugar (a monosaccharide) and the body’s main source of energy, providing fuel for cells, especially the brain, derived from food and regulated by insulin, with levels measured in the blood to monitor health, particularly for diabetes. It’s crucial for bodily functions, but too much or too little can cause health issues like fatigue, thirst, or confusion, with excess stored as glycogen for later use.
