Can a diabetic eat low gi whole wheat brown bread?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: That bread is better than a higher carb, white bread of course. Read the label on the bread though and assure you count the "Carbs" in all your foods (daily ranges can be from 135-270 grams). Best wishes.

Yes: Good examples are coarse barley bread, which is very dense, with a glycemic index rating of about 34. Pumpernickel bread, a less dense bread more suitable for sandwiches, has a glycemic rating of 50. Bread made with 50 percent cracked wheat kernel has a glycemic index of around 58, and 100 percent whole-grain bread has a glycemic index of 51. Enjoy!
