When there is not enough glucose in your body, you start experiencing the symptoms of [[hypoglycemia]]. Because the lack of glucose inhibits your cells from operating properly, you will feel fatigued, light headed, and nauseous. In extreme cases, people can go into comas. A common disorder called [[diabetes]] is caused by your body's inability to use glucose productively. This can happen when your body doesn't produce enough [[insulin]], or you become "glucose intolerant" from lack of exercise and bad diet.

Glucose is used a lot in cooking, especially baking and making various types of sweets. It is used so commonly in baking because it is readily [[ferment]]ed, or fed on, by [[yeast]]. It is used to make a lot of candies and frostings because it doesn't crystallize easily.
