Whole wheat bread is good, check the label, you are looking for high fiber and low sugar. There are many names for sugar in labels: sucrose, fructose, dextrose, glucose,maltose,lactose. Diabetics need to stay away from those. A normal healthy person should not consume more than 40 grams per day.

The carbohydrate content is the only concern for a diabetic. Whole wheat bread does not differ from white bread in this and has a higher roughic content. Now with the addives put in white bread there is not much difference in vitamens.

The short answer is no. Bread is classified as a charbohydrate. Charbohydrates become sugars when processed by the body, and therefore should be avoided or consumed only in small quantity.
Whole wheat bread is healthier for you than white bread so it is the lesser of two evils, but not recommended. You should see a dietician to get reliable food info.

Some very good answers here. You do not have to avoid bread completely, but must limit intake. And definitely go with a sugar free bread and with a whole grain bread. Remember that diabetes is a very manageable disease. Watch your diet and get exercise. Avoid alcohol and if you must eat something sweet stick with fruits. And please, please keep tabs on your blood sugar. It makes all the difference in the world.

I agree with the people who said no. I think the only type of bread that my be suitable for diabetics are whole grain bread.

i read on the internet that whole wheat, whole grains (brown rice, and others) are complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are high in fiber unlike the simple carbs (ex. white bread and white rice) And because complex carbs are slowly digested, it will keep your blood sugar from spiking.

multi grain bread and brown bread is the best for diabetics, also brown rice.

Very good. It contains more minerals and fiber than the polished bread.
