Assume u mean "Glucose" ??
Its stored in muscles as GLYCOGEN
when we need energy... the glycogen is broken down by a process called "glycogenolysis" back into glucose for use

a) In the muscle cells. Phoshorous from the glucose is used to transfer ADP to ATP. ATP is stored energy.
b) too much too fast is transferred to insulin.
Just a guess. Dammit Jim, I'm a bodybuilder not a scientist!

They are running through the blood stream feeding of your cells and if you WILL use them up, or get sick for high sugar!
What gets stored is fat, that in turn gets transformed into glucose when your body needs it
