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?

The difference is in how fast the sugar content can get from your stomach to your bloodstream.
Simple sugars can move fast – because they’re already in a form that’s close to what your body uses.
While complex carbs have to be taken apart (disassembled) before their sugar content is made available to move on to the bloodstream.
