I have seen a video showing that due to high glucose levels we have more sugar level shown but if we take more sucrose like in fruits then the sugar level will not be effected. Is it true.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Yes there is a video where it is shown that after eating fruits or after taking fructose blood glucose level does not go up. Fruits contain a sugar called fructose (sugar in fruits). It is different than glucose. So it will not reflect in increasing the blood glucose level. Unlike glucose which comes as an end product of all the carbohydrates that we eat - rice, wheat, jowar, bajari or millets, sweet corn etc. Cane sugar which is called sucrose contains one molecule of glucose and one fructose. Glucose increases blood glucose levels. Fructose has a different metabolic pathway. The matter is fairly complicated. This much is sufficient. Thanks.
