My doctor told me my blood sugar levels were a bit off, and that my liver health is important for managing it. I was just wondering, does the liver store glucose, or is it only for processing? Trying to understand my body better, na.

Yes, the liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen. But when I had severe liver inflammation, my body couldn't manage these levels properly, leading to sudden fatigue and sugar drops. Please consult a specialist if you have chronic fatigue.

Yes, it stores glucose as glycogen. Think of it as a savings account; when you run out of cash (sugar) from meals, the liver withdraws some glycogen to keep your blood levels steady. Very practical system.

Haan na, it definitely stores glucose as glycogen for emergencies. When we fast, it nicely releases it back so we don't faint. God has made such a beautiful system inside us, ho na?

Yes, it stores glucose. When I visited my doctor at Apollo last month for my metabolic screening, he explained exactly how the liver acts as a glucose reservoir. It's always best to ask your doctor to explain these processes during your checkups.

Yes, it stores glucose. To keep this storage healthy without turning it into fat, we should eat complex carbs like oats and jowar instead of refined white sugar. Proper diet keeps the liver storage clean.

Oh, so the liver stores it. But does it mean if we eat too much sugar, the liver gets overloaded? I am just trying to understand how fatty liver happens.
