When people eat too much carbs, and the glucose level rises too high, the body will convert the excess glucose to glycogen (which is stored in the liver?) and triglycerides (fat?).
Does the liver go... ok, this batch of glucose will become glycogen. Then when the next batch comes in, it goes, well, now I feel like some triglycerides. Or are both the output of the same process?
If they are not result of the same process, how does the liver know when to make glycogen and when to make triglycerides?
Thanks.
