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.

They’re 2 different compounds. Table sugar is sucrose, blood sugar is glucose. Blood sugar is the way by which energy is transported to your cells, which is why your blood sugar goes up after eating regardless of whether you were eating something with sugar in it.
