Glucose, a monosaccharide, is a form of sugar absorbed through the intestine into your bloodstream. Foods do not contain pure glucose, although diabetics sometimes carry pure glucose tablets or gels to raise their blood sugar quickly if they develop hypoglycemia, the medical term of low blood sugar.lucose is a single sugar molecule that your body can absorb directly in the intestine. Sucrose and starches are carbohydrates formed by two or more sugars bonded together. The sugars in sucrose and starch must be broken down into glucose molecules in the gastrointestinal tract before your intestines can absorb them.
