It may be possible that some of the carbs in the Franks ice cream are actually polyols from the sweeteners used. It should state this on the nutritional label (though not every product does). The polyols need to be taken off the total carbs as they are not processed by the body. That's why too many polyols causes laxative effects.

Actually it does matter if you’re injecting insulin to cover carbs, if those carbs don’t affect blood sugar you could end up with a hypo!
 
Like i’ve Said before local health service. My I.c.e course never went so complicated. Carbs are carbs. Think i’ll Listen to my diabetic clinic.
