Sugar is not essential to a human diet.
When a human ingests forms of carbohydrates such as starches they are digested into glucose, which is the form of sugar the body cells use for energy.
You never have to eat table sugar, but eating adequate carbohydrate (and/or fruit sugar and milk sugar) will keep your body running well from the glucose it obtains from these foods.
Of course you need sugar in your body. almost everything you eat contains sugar so their is no need to eat sweets often, but sugar is necessary. Without sugar, our body couldn't conduct basic processes like digestion or respiration. The sugar you consume is broken down into smaller subunits called monomers (Glucose) and then goes through the whole alimentary canal to be shipped off into the blood through the circulatory
system. It is one of the most important sources of food energy and is used as not only providing your body with energy, but also as a building block to produce more cells. Every day some of our cells die and if we aren't able to reproduce more, we would die.
Sugar isn't important at all. Blood glucose is, and only enough to allow your red blood cells to carry oxygen optimally. That is all the blood glucose that is needed for survival.
Glucose in the bloodstream being used as a primary fuel source for cellular metabolism is not a good thing despite what most doctors will tell you.
Glucose is highly reactive when burned for fuel and it's byproducts cause high levels of unpaired electrons (free-radicals) that are highly destructive to neighboring cells.

What is the most abundant sugar in the human blood?
Glucose (or blood sugar) is a type of sugar. When we eat food, especially carbohydrate rich food, like pasta, bread, potatoes, etc, the sugar and starch are digested by the body. They are broken down into simple sugars, like glucose. Glucose is very important for the body. We need energy, and our body gets energy by using glucose as the most important (primary) source. However, it is also very important how much glucose we have in the blood. Diabetes sufferers usually have high levels, which they have to control (keep at the right level) otherwise important organs of the body could be seriously damaged.

What is the overall importance of the nutrient sugar?
Sugar is an important part of a person's diet. Most sugars are disaccharides (like lactose, sucrose, and fructose) which are small carbohydrates. The body uses it to generate a lot of energy very quickly. As long as a person eats on a regular basis, then sugar isn't as important, because the body has enough time to properly digest other nutrients to get ATP (cellular fuel).

And the answer above is right, the sugar will be there. If it were not, then it turns out that your body is able to convert starches into sugar. Your body will do anything it can to provide nourishment to the brain, otherwise it dies, and you die.
