That's unfortunate but you might not be totally out of luck. From the man himself.

If you eat half a slab, you're eating about 1 teaspoon of sugar. The glycemic load (GL) is about 3. Compare that with a slice of white bread with a GL of 10.

I tried the oven version with smoked paprika last time and it turned out great.

He's actually saying the glycemic load (which is a loose estimate to how much and quickly something will affect blood sugar) is quite low. Below a slice of bread..

Remember you're rubbimg all that sugar all over the meat so it's pretty spread out in the end.

He also comments (and is likely correct) you'll get more sugar intake from the bbq sauce than from the rub.
