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?

Important to note that, if you have a functioning pancreas, your blood sugar does not ‘spike’ after eating. And if you want an example of complex carbs breaking down fast and early, place a plain corn flake or Cheerio on your tongue and let it sit for just a few seconds. Your saliva has enzymes that start the breakdown in your mouth.
