A mouse study finds that fructose and glucose affect different signaling pathways from the gut to the brain, and caloric equivalents result in less activation of receptor neurons in the brain by fructose than by glucose. This did not affect food intake, however, evidently because fructose increases intestinal water content and feelings of satiety.

Monell Center researchers find fructose sends a weaker “I’m full” signal to the brain than glucose
New research from the Monell Center suggests that our brains treat sugars differently, depending on the type. The common dietary sugars fructose and glucose, despite having the same amount of calories, communicate with the brain through different gut-brain pathways, a difference that may help shape our food and beverage preferences. They report in Neuron that fructose sends a weaker "I'm full" signal to the brain than glucose does, which can ultimately influence what and how much we decide to eat.
Most diabetes apps either track everything and overwhelm you or nothing in between.

This is an odd one. Glucose monitors that didn't meet quality standards were stolen and sold to customers.
