Should Beetroot be counted?

Could not find any reference to Beetroot on the forum search but it is a high sugar content vegetable. I was just wondering if I should count it, The Carbs are about 10%.

DAFNE Online Forums Search does not return any posts. Google search does (DAFNE Online Beetroot) but when clicking on the returned page cannot find reference to beetroot !

Any advice in next 20 minutes would be appreciated. Might just go with half counting it ie 5% CHO ratio,

Sorry - just found some web site saying it has a very low GL (Glycemic Load)

Quote: Beetroot is virtually fat free and low in calories. Although it has a ‘medium’ GI (Glycaemic Index) of 64, It has an extremely low GL (Glycaemic Load) of 2.9 which means it’s converted into sugars very slowly

Hi
Very late comment. I eat a lot of beetroot as I grow it and I don't count the carbs in it. It's a vegetable so"free" IMHO. Seems to work for me especially as it's often paired with cheese that would slow down the absorption of carbs into my blood stream.
