Here's some anecdotal data that might clear things up about glucose. Steve Cooksey - that Diabetes Warrior guy - did an experiment with a continuous BG meter during bouts of exercise. As we can see, BG rises on its own during exercise. So if we believe we need glucose for exercise, we don't actually need dietary glucose, the liver gives us all the glucose we actually need, and does it without all the problems associated with the rise of insulin that accompanies dietary glucose.

To summarize, we don't need dietary glucose, but more than that, and if we do eat glucose, it disrupts our ability to burn fat.
