Essential Concepts
Bread can raise blood sugar, but some loaves do so more slowly. Dense whole-grain, rye, sourdough, oat- or barley-based, seeded, and sprouted breads tend to be steadier choices, especially in modest portions and with protein, fat, and fiber.
Essential Concepts: Low-GI rice can support steadier blood sugar in diabetes; black, brown basmati, Wehani, and brown rice offer more fiber and nutrients than white rice. Keep portions modest and pair rice with protein, healthy fats, and nonstarchy vegetables to help limit blood sugar spikes.
