BreaDr. is the product of choice for people living with diabetes and those diagnosed with pre-diabetes. They know that controlling carbohydrate intake is essential to keeping blood glucose levels under control while it is also a plus for weight loss and maintenance. Our bread is also favored by individuals who simply seek to lose pounds or maintain a healthy weight.

A very important number to people with diabetes is the glycemic index value. According to the American Diabetes Association, “The glycemic index, or GI, measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose. Foods are ranked based on how they compare to a reference food – either glucose or white bread. A food with a high GI raises blood glucose more than a food with a medium or low GI.

“Examples of carbohydrate-containing foods with a low GI include dried beans and legumes (like kidney beans and lentils), all non-starchy vegetables and some starchy vegetables, most fruit, and many whole grain breads and cereals (like barley, whole wheat bread, rye bread, and all-bran cereal). Meats and fats don’t have a GI because they do not contain carbohydrate.”

So, breaDr. bread fits nicely among the “many whole grain breads” that the American Diabetes Association recommends. But what makes breaDr. stand out among them?

The answer lies in breaDr.’s delicious taste and appealing texture – two qualities that are so often absent from other products that have a low glycemic index.

A clinical study using human subjects found the glycemic index of breaDr. whole wheat bread to be just 39. That is a substantial difference from the glycemic index of 100 for white bread. Substitute a serving of delicious, low-carb breaDr. whole wheat bread for ordinary bread. Incorporated into a healthy diet, our all-nautral bread can help you to keep your glycemic index low.

Key diabetes statistics:

According to the American Diabetes Association’s latest numbers (statistics from 2011), 25.8 million children and adults in the United States—8.3% of the population—have diabetes. A whopping 79 million people have pre-diabetes. And some 7 million people are undiagnosed diabetics.

That is a huge number of people who need to mindful of their blood glucose levels and of the GI value of their foods. That’s because foods that have a high GI are quickly metabolized and send those blood glucose levels rapidly soaring.

Compared with white bread, which has a GI of 100, BreaDr.’s whole wheat bread, with a GI of just 39, offers a low-GI alternative, and it is delicious, too! We’re sure you’ll agree breaDr. is the best low-carb bread on the market!
