Is bread good for diabetic patients?

Answer 1

Nothing should really be considered good or bad when it comes to food. I prefer to think of good, not so good, or not good at all as the categories of nutritional value. For a diabetic they need to be careful about carbohydrates. Since bread is a high source of carbs, then the next thing to find out is if it is white bread or whole wheat. The whole wheat would digest slower and so easier on their body systems. But then, you could ask if it is 100% whole wheat or just made with some whole wheat? And then that could lead to 100% whole wheat or multigrain? And then what are they eating it with and when in relation to their blood sugar level. And then… you should have a picture by now that even a simple question may not be all that simple. The reason I mention this is that there are many factors that need to be considered in such a situation, and to get the best possible outcomes it would be a good idea to have this kind of conversation with a physician or nutritionist, or both.
