The glucose, like all of the nutrients, soon gets absorbed into the bloodstream creating a peak in what we call «blood sugar levels», which results with the releasing of more insulin from the pancreas in order to push glucose to the cells, basically «commanding» the cells to open up and absorb it, where it gets used as an energy source.

Insulin lowers blood glucose levels partly by suppressing the release of glucose from the liver, by increasing glycogen (a kind of starch) synthesis and storage, and by inhibiting glycogen breakdown and the formation of glucose from other sources such as glycerol (from fat), lactate (from the metabolism of fuels like glucose and fructose by the liver and muscles) and amino acids (from proteins) by the process known as gluconeogenesis.
