First, the type of sugar that is present in a carbohydrate food. Some foods have very few sugar molecule chains while others contain many sugar molecule chains. The amount and type of fiber present will also affect the impact a carbohydrate has on blood sugar levels. The more fiber, the lower the rise and the longer it takes for a blood sugar rise after eating that food. Protein and fats also present in a meal will affect blood sugar levels.
