Why does blood sugar spike after a meal if food is digested in the stomach for several hours before it starts getting absorbed in the small intestine?

Simple answer is digestion begins as soon as you put something in your mouth. The levels of digestion go on as it moves through your tract—more complex digestion and breakdowns happen the more it moves on, and full on digestion happens within the 24 hour period—however the first things to usually get broken down are soluble things like sugars, salts, ECT.
