[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2198801, member: 155453"] Welcome to the forum [USER=518681]@Nanjensim[/USER] Sugar is just a simple carbohydrate but all carbs will show up as glucose in your blood eventually. I have just looked at my grandsons box of Weetabix to give you an example. A serving ( 2 biscuits ) is 26 grams of carbs of which sugars 1.6 grams This just means that 1.6g of simple carbs will hit your blood almost immediately the other 25g of more complex carbs will take a little longer but will still raise your blood sugar levels. A good rule of thumb is 5g of carbs = 1 teaspoon of sugar so a serving of Weetabix is around 5 teaspoons of sugar. Another thing to look out for is brown rice, wholemeal bread/pasta our bodies can't tell what colour carbs are they will all raise your levels. [/QUOTE]
