I posted this once before, but it is buried in the middle of a thread somewhere, so I think more people will see it if I post it again here.
Harvey Simon, M.D. of the Harvard School of Medicine states that though there are different types of carbohydrates, they all have roughly the same effect on your blood glucose level. A single gram of carbohydrate raises your blood sugar 3 mg/dL if you weigh around 200 lbs., 4 mg/dL if you weigh around 150 lbs. or 5 mg/dL if you weigh around 100 lbs. Having this knowledge, you should be able to calculate somewhat accurately how high your blood glucose will rise after a meal.
