According to Susan Weiner, RD, CDE, co-author of The Complete Diabetes Organizer and Diabetes: 365 Tips for Living Well, reading the nutrition labels on packaged bread is essential

Weiner strongly encourages people with diabetes to choose a high-fiber bread, with at least three grams of fiber per slice. “Aim for a whole-grain bread with ingredients like oats

If you’re making a sandwich with two slices of bread, choose a variety that has no more than 15 grams of carbohydrates and 100 calories per slice

[{ "selector": ".kicmu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 25px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

If the bread is higher in carbs and calories, use just one slice for an open-faced sandwich

[{ "selector": ".ooisa-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 6px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Maria Rodriguez says you can tell if any packaged loaf is 100-percent whole grain by looking at the ingredient list

[{ "selector": ".wgieo-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-351px) rotate(-580deg)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) rotate(0deg)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Spelt, flaxseed, chia-seed, and almond-flour breads

[{ "selector": ".drwuc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 528px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

These can deliver lots of fiber, protein, and healthy fat. But be sure to check labels
