The reaction will be;

Glucose 6 - phosphate = Glucose + Pi

The enzyme catalyzing the conversion or hydrolyzes glucose 6 phosphate to free glucose and inorganic phosphate is glucose 6-phosphatase.

The effect will be that your blood sugar will increase as glucose is released from the liver cells into your blood stream.
