How many points does 1gram of sugar raise blood sugar?
April 29th, 2009 by admin
I know 1gram of carb raises blood sugar on someone that weighs around 100lbs to 140lbs by 4 to 5 points… Does anyone know how much 1gram of sugar raises blood sugar?
Sugar is pure sugar, so it's 1g of carb per 1g of sugar (I had to check the back of our sugar dispenser at work to confirm this). So it's the same 4-5 points if that's how much 1g of carb elevates you.

1 gram of sugar = 1 gram of carbohydrates so if the formula you give is correct than the same amount.
