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?

Sugar actually doesn’t even need to get to the stomach to be absorbed. It’s much slower, but you can just park some frosting or honey inside your cheek and the mucous membranes in your mouth will absorb the sugar. It’s what to do if a Type 1 Diabetic has passed out, while you wait for the ambulance. Seconds count.
