A question about glucose

I read in a textbook (Lauralee Sherwood from cells to systems 7th edition chapter 17) that "an increased glucose utilisation inhibits food intake". I thought that using glucose would not inhibit food intake but do the opposite. I would like to know the mechanisms involved here and i'm not really sure if this is a question of psysiology or perhaps metabolism (although this information was taken from a physiology textbook). It would be great if someone could provide the mechanisms involved or an explanation perhaps some links, thanks.
