Pumpernickel is good for most type 2 diabetics, having a low GI between 30 and 40. It's more compressed seeds than leavened bread and is consequently very filling. It travels well too!

I have open sandwiches at home but if travelling, I fill the sandwiches with sliced cheeses like Emmentaler or sliced meats or salamis. Just add some crunchy lettuce and some sliced tomato and or onion. You can have a nice meal if you take some broth in a thermos and some nice pickled gerkhins and/or green chillis. An apple or pear won't hurt you either.

This is a very nice sandwhich, cream cheese, smoked salmon and some avocado, but a bit of a luxury and almost as expensive as Greggs:

Still, a good ham sandwich is hard to beat:

You need the correct bread though. Nothing light and springy. That's a sure sign that it has white flour and/or other additives. Pumpernickel in German is called Full Kernel Bread and it looks like this:

How many carb in the bread?

How many carb in the bread?

Depends on brand of course but Lidl's Rivercote is about 15g total carbs per slice. Of that, 4g is fibre and is not digested. The wholegrain kernels also contain a high percentage of oligosaccharides which are only partially digested, most of it being broken down by bacteria in the lower intestine rather converted by enzymes, hence the description 'pumper', meaning to break wind. The digestible carbs are in the form of the coarsely milled rye flour which has a low GI. It is comparable with oat groats.

Most people can eat a couple of slices with no noticable effect on their BG levels and you probably wouldn't want to eat more than 4 anyway. It is heavy stuff.
