Understanding how to read labels will help you avoid breads that contain enriched wheat flour. Manufactures will often add back vitamins and minerals that were lost during processing, but that won’t increase the fiber content (unless they add that back, too). Processing grains to make white flour softens the texture, but it also strips away fiber, vitamins, and minerals and results in a higher glycemic index, according to the ADA. The worst breads for someone with diabetes are made with refined carbohydrates, such as white flour.
