This will tell you how much your body can deal with.I think your nurse was trying to make it easier for you to read food labels, and thereby making it more confusing.All carbs make your blood glucose go up, not just sugars. So take a food with 10 grams of carbs per 100 gram, all of which are sugars, and eat 100 gram. And take a food with 60 grams of carbs per 100 gram, none of which are sugars, and eat 100 gram.With the first, you'll have eaten only 10 grams of carbs, with the second you'll have eaten 60 grams of carbs, and even if it was no sugar it will likely send you much higher than the first.</blockquote>
