It isn't just the type of carbohydrate that determines everything either. You can effect you BG by doing even a small amount of exertion after you've eaten.
Occasionally when I suspect I've eaten something a bit excessive I will do a one hour reading. If that looks to be going high I'll just do a warp factor 9 5 to 10 minute walk around the block. For that small amount of time you do need to actually exert yourself. That will interrupt BS uptake as some will be taken up for the energy needed to walk. I've also been told and can confirm that a hot bath can help as well as your muscles will again absorb the sugar.
