Kai - Beets themselves, raw, have only 8 grams of carbs per 3 oz (or a 2" diameter beet), plain cooked per 1/2 cup (3oz) they have 8 carbs. They have a lot of good vitamins and look to be a fairly good-for-you vegetable--even for high blood pressure.
Sugarbeets on the other hand is a whole other vegetable and is what they make table sugar out of so it is high in carbs.
my mum was told that beetroot has alot of sugar and can cause high blood pressure

Doreen - Ι think it is better seeing a doctor in person to answer this kind of questions.
