Yes, it's just added complexity in my opinion - and, if you are on insulin and wanting to dose to your carbs, will add to innacuracy. It's not like I:C ratios for doasaging always work to the gram, but if you are adding up an exchange here with an exchange there - something rounded off with another thing rounded off - the discrepancy with actual carb content, can get pretty big.
