The question to you is this: What will raise your blood sugar more a baked potato or a brownie? Well the answer is the potato. So your question is well why is that? I thought that sugar raises your readings....
Well, sugar does raise your blood sugars but, it really is not the sugars as much as the carbs. We now know that carbs are what needs to be watched by the diabetic more than the sugars. Sugars are actually counted into the carb totals. So watch what your eating as far as carbs go.
Most doctors are now placing diabetics on a carb scale where there insulin actually accounts for the total carbs you take in. Speak to your doctor about carbs for further information.
