However, there's an "inconvenient truth" about diabetes that we don't talk about here: "blood sugar increase = carbohydrates eaten" is not correct, particularly type 2 diabetics tend to have excessive endogenous glucose production, and it's quite possible that thinking about food or smelling it might cause the liver to dump glucose.

EULEn-Spiegel on Diabetes says otherwise - quoted sources for (the refutation of) that myth is Human physiology : an integrated approach... how do you know that? Do you have links for the journal articles?I know that glucose can be absorbed into the bloodstream via the lining of the mouth, so it is a possibility.
What is Glucogel and how does it help hypoglycemia?
Glucogel is available from your healthcare professional, and he or she should be able to tell you how to use this to treat a hypo. Glucogel can be administered when glucose tablets of Lucozade may not be safely given. Glucogel is administered to hypo patients by putting it into the side of the mouth and rubbing it into the cheeks.

That does not imply that glucose is absorbed by the mouth mucous membrane, just that it is safer to not make the patient swallow ("when glucose tablets of Lucozade may not be safely given") in certain situations.Glucogel is administered to hypo patients by putting it into the side of the mouth and rubbing it into the cheeks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_glucose_gelAs glucose molecules will absorb directly though oral tissue it is either swallowed directly, or allowed to stay in the mouth momentarily to facilitate rapid absorption via various areas of the mouth cavity [1] and then swallowed to allow absorption into the blood via the small intestine.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9572913To clarify the site of d-glucose absorption in human oral cavity, newly designed perfusion cells were applied to five different sites in the human oral cavity, i.e., the dorsum of the tongue, the ventral surface of the tongue, the labial mucosa, the floor of the mouth, and the buccal mucosa. The solution of D-glucose was perfused for 1 h and the rate of absorption was calculated from the amount that disappeared from the perfusate. D-Glucose was absorbed rapidly from the dorsum of the tongue and the absorption was saturable. The saturable absorption was also observed in the ventral surface of the tongue, but not in the other three sites. The rate of D-glucose absorption in the dorsum and the ventral surface of the tongue was significantly larger than that of L-glucose, while in the other sites they were not significantly different. The presence of a specialized transport system for D-glucose absorption in the dorsum of human tongue was suggested.
