Glycogen metabolism

What is glycogen metabolism? Glycogen is basically an enormous molecule or polymer, that’s made up of glucose molecules linked together by glycosidic bonds. After a meal, high insulin levels promote glycogen synthesis, whereas during fasting, high glucagon and epinephrine levels promote glycogen break down. Glycogen is considered the major form of glucose storage in the body.

[@thefenerbahcesk4156]

Since diabetics have less intracellular insulin, do they have more glycogen?

[@BeulahKuku]

Guessing not because insulin also activates enzymes to do glycogenesis, (creation of glycogen, as this video shows) which causes the conc. Of glucose in the blood to decrease, serving it's purpose.
