Peter talking low GI/not getting spiked by bread, Matingara's suggestion is great - some of the the Burgen's breads are great for BG (compared to vast majority of breads).

A few of the Brugen varieties have "low - moderate GI" 40- 50, like the seed and nut one, the pumpkin seed one. Unlike a few of the other breads claiming low GI out there like "performax" bread, I find burgen to really deliver the goods for slow release energy.

The best for me is the "Burgen Soy Lin" which I really like toasted and a piece or two will not spike me at all. Try it, it should be in all coles/safeways.

Unfortunately so many breads are spike-city.
