The other thing is that once you have glucose in your bloodstream, your body can use it directly for exercise, store it as glycogen, or store it as fat.

Everything seems to work much better for me if my glycogen stores in my liver are depleted by exercise before I eat more carbohydrate. Again, insulin inhibits the production and action of glucagon, the hormone that turns stored glycogen back into glucose.
