It is my personal experience that the use of these three terms, glucose, glycogen, and glucagon, especially when we are talking about type 1 and type 2 diabetes, may lead to some confusion since somehow the terms are similar among themselves.
However, their functions, although related to glucose, are very different. To clarify them and their roles in our body, I have put together a brief explanation of each one.
