Carbs vs Sugars
I'd say to just ignore it. Mine is set up for calories, protein, and carbs, that's it!

Most net carbs are a marketing trick to makes us think better about heavily process junk food Some companies wants us to buy.
But - in reality - most endocrinologist would tell a diabetic person to count ALL carbs... Not net carbs..specially if they need insulin. If you are diabetic - requiring insulin - it means your body is going to release it to a dress any carbs.
The "net carbs" fooled a lot of us into thinking some foods are "miracle" foods. Only to find out we can't lose weight or maintain when we believe them. Been there - done that. Learned my lesson.

I don't bother tracking sugars individually. All carbs basically convert to glucose, anyway. That sounds like a weird bug, though. I'd email them.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Yeah...think I will email! If it triggered confusion in me, someone else will be confused too.

Not all carbs get converted into glucose. Fructose is a carb. So are sugar alcohols. And some fiber is truly just fiber - filler..
Some carbs can be converted to... alcohol in our body. (extreme situation with yeast infection)...

Part of fructose is almost always converted to glucose and the rest to triglycerides.
Sugar alcohols are weird. They are carbs, but they don't work like carbohydrate in the body always. There isn't nearly enough research on their mechanisms of action. Studies are a bit conflicted; some indicated that the gut flora still digested the majority of alcohols, which might suggest a more minimal benefit than people ascribe to them. They still affect blood glucose levels, though the effect is routinely negligible. It depends on the person and the SAs.
