I dont know why but this is one of those things I just cant make sense of even with Google. So is sugar found in blood and the body there from eating sugar or a natural accurance regardless of diet? Is sugar as a food and blood sugar completly seperate things? This has bothered me for 2 decades. Explain it like I am 3 please.

There are different types of sugar
The main three are Glucose, sucrose and fructose

Glucose is the one that our blood uses to move energy around our body,

Glucose is sometimes found in foods, but when you think of “sugar” and imagine a bag of sugar, that is sucrose.

Your body is able to change sucrose into glucose when you’re digesting it, which lets the sugar you eat get into your blood to energize you
