I haven't been diagnosised with diabetes yet but I've been having elevated blood sugars and on and off but mostly on frequent urination and thirst. If I eat a hard candy that has 13grams of carbohydrates and no sugar will that make my blood sugars go up I am not sure if I need to look out for carbohydrates or sugars I always that it was sugar

Hello,

Research has shown that your total daily amount of carbohydrate intake affects your blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates have the most immediate effect on blood glucose levels, since carbohydrates are broken down into glucose (sugar) early during digestion. It is important to eat the suggested amount of carbohydrate at each meal, along with some protein, and fat.
