Vanderbilt researchers have discovered why the adage, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," holds weight—especially for the 1 in 9 adults worldwide living with diabetes. Glucose (the simplest form of sugar) is the body's main source of energy. When everything is working properly, the body regulates glucose—keeping it from spiking or crashing—and stores it until we need it.
