What is a good bread choice for a person with type 2 diabetes?

Good bread choices for a person managing type 2 diabetes include any breads that are primarily made from whole grains, states the American Diabetes Association. These breads provide vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals, and the fiber in whole grains takes longer to digest, keeping glucose levels more stable.

The most common whole grain in the United States is whole wheat, but whole oats, rye, barley, buckwheat and corn are good for people with type 2 diabetes, notes the American Diabetes Association. The product must have whole grain as the first ingredient and not simply "contain" or be "made with" a whole grain.
