The main source of blood glucose comes from food, principally from the two types carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates include fruits, fruit juices, table sugar, sweets and alcoholic beverages. These are easy to break down once ingested and cause blood sugar levels to spike immediately. Complex carbohydrates take more time to digest and convert into glucose. They are less likely to cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. These are usually in the form of starch and include whole grains, nuts, legumes, beans, cereals and breads.
