I tried looking into it but couldn’t quite understand. Carbohydrates are complex molecules that ultimately break down at the lowest level into glucose and similar monosaccharides; so, why does eating bread not do the same thing to a diabetic person that eating sugar does?

Complex carbohydrates are basically sugar with extra steps. The extra steps make it take longer for sugar (glucose) to reach your blood and make it easier for the body to keep up and keep your blood sugar at the right level.
Basically, the problem is having too much sugar in your blood, and complex carbs are slow-release sugar that’s easier to manage.
