In glycolysis, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is converted to two products with a standard free-energy change (DG'°) of 23.8 kJ/mol. Under what conditions (encountered in a normal cell) will the free-energy change (DG) be negative, enabling the reaction to proceed to the right?

In some diabetic patients, glucose increases disproportionately and is unresponsive to an insulin challenge; under these conditions, how would oneʹs liver normally respond?
A) phosphorylating glucose for entry into the glycolytic pathway
B) saturating glucokinase with glucose
C) phosphorylating glucose for entry into the glycogen synthesis pathways
