Karachi: (RightNow) Diabetics don’t need to give up bread, but making a healthy choice is crucial. Experts say the right bread selection helps control blood sugar levels.

Nutritionists recommend using flour with a low glycemic index. High fiber and protein content help maintain sugar levels.

Experts consider barley bread, whole wheat flour, millet, and chickpea flour bread as better choices. These grains gradually increase blood sugar levels.

Barley bread contains beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that slows digestion and aids sugar control. Millet and similar grains have a low glycemic index.

It is important for diabetics to choose flour with high fiber content. The right choice aids in sugar control.
