No, mate. It's exactly the same in Europe as it is in the United States. 10g carbohydrates is still 10g carbohydrates.
Do remember, though, that you need to count the TOTAL carbohydrates in estimating how much your son is taking in.
I hope you enjoy your trip to France.

The quantity of carbs are at the kit. But like stated, keep in mind approximately the sauce and different units in dinner. In your case, it is sixty three for the pasta on my own. The directions for Type II say forty five-60 carbs consistent with meal. If her health practitioner or nutritionist say seventy five is great, move with that. Each man or woman responds otherwise with the treatment and nutrition. And plenty depends upon the age, weight and bodily situation of the man or woman. Next time take a look at the entire grain pasta. Healthier and includes extra fiber that is well for you. My health practitioner didn't desire me counting carbs however as an alternative awareness on consuming healthful and maintaining my consumption round 2000 energy. Also he desired me to undertaking a minimum of five instances per week. Following those instructional materials, I owered my a1c from eleven.zero in November 2006 to six.two final week. And my ldl cholesterol dropped from one hundred eighty to 137. And misplaced fifty five kilos. The drawback with simply counting carbs is all carbs are counted the identical. Most diabetic nutritionists do not train you the change among sensible carbs, complicated carbs and fiber. Also if you happen to undertaking, you burn extra carbs. Exercise additionally accelerates your metabolism which aids in controlling your sugar.
