Almonst all food and liquids (other than water) that humans consume have some form of sugar (look for words ending in -trose, like dextrose). As well, almost every food or liquid, including milk, breaks down in the digestive tract and forms "glucose", which is the body's and cell's fuel.
As we eat or drink, the pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin is needed to carry glucose into the cells to be converted to energy. In Diabetes, the pancreas cannot secrete insulin and so, the body stores the glucose into fat cells.
When the body needs energy, stored glucogen reverts to glucose for the cell's energy needs.

Why is milk sweet in taste?
That's because the lactose is broken down into two other easily digested sugars which are sweeter: breaks into galactose and glucose... this occurs through hydrolysis in the milk prior to drinking it ( because lactase is found in the milk, which contains lactose), thus creating a sweeter milk).
