Are blood sugars the same as sugars that you eat?

In: Eating Disorders, Diabetes [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. They are very different.
Normal blood sugar is "regularized" by your pancreas, liver, basically your whole endocrine system.
However, what foods you eat that contain carbs and sugars affect your blood sugar. Normal blood sugar is about 80-160, and it does go somewhat higher when you eat, or lower when exercising; but your pancreas responds by secreting insulin into your blood stream, supposing you are non diabetic.
Ex: Suppose you drink a diet mountain dew, which contains zero carbs,and zero sugar.
Your blood sugar would NOT be zero.
