Years ago, I began a Vegan diet (suggested by my Endo Dr). The diet dropped my insulin dosage by 40 units from 50+ to 10+. Barlow's Bakery is one of the few bakeries around that make certain breads without dairy or eggs. The Caraway Rye is my favorite! Depending on your salt restrictions, they make two versions: with and without course salt topping. Occasionally, they will also do a lightly salt topping. It is good plain, toasted, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, grilled vegan cheese. Roughly 15 carbs per slice.

In my own n=1 experiments, sourdough seems to be one that limits upside glucose excursions, however no better than other breads that contain high amounts of fiber. Most breads will have 10-15+ g carbs per slice, so you are talking about 20-30 grams for a sandwich. A high protein add (like turkey breast) and fiber in the bread helps me blunt the slope of the rise in my blood sugar and better match the timing of the meal insulin bolus and the absorption of the glucose post meal (usually like 30-45 minutes). I’ve started using large Romaine lettuce leaves instead of bread for sandwiches as I personally would rather get my carbohydrates from something that better satisfies my sweet needs
