Nah Bob. Carbohydrates are one of the three most essential macronutrients (along with proteins and fats.) You pretty much need them to survive, and a large portion of our diets should consist of them. It's really hard to say that there are other sources of glucose besides carbohydrates when glucose, like other sugars, is a carbohydrate. Unless you're talking about pasta.

Carbs are what give people energy and are the first macronutrient the body burns. That's why when people go on diets like Paleo, they avoid carbs so that the body immediately burns the next macronutrient in line: fat.
