Here's why:
* Glucose is the primary fuel for our cells. It's constantly circulating in our blood to provide energy.
* Before eating, our bodies have already used up some glucose for energy. The remaining glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen, but some is always present in the blood to maintain basic bodily functions.
* While there is a small amount of glucose stored in other places (like muscle cells), the blood is the primary carrier and storage site for glucose before a meal.
It's important to note that the amount of glucose in the blood before eating can vary slightly depending on individual factors like recent activity levels, stress, and overall health.
