Since I have been Diabetic, I have cut down on eating too many carbohydrates, which has led me to eat less bread. I have finally figured out which types of bread are better for you. 

If you don't want to give up bread totally, then there a few loaves of bread out there that can be eaten without worrying about spiking blood sugar levels or simply wanting to lower your calorie intake.
