Ham and Cheese Loaf or Roll (1 Slice)

Have a smaller portion of the ham-and-cheese loaf or roll, and avoid adding sweet sauces, ketchup, or sugary drinks.

Eat it with a large side of non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, or broccoli to slow absorption.

Choose an open-faced serving or remove part of the bread, while keeping the ham and cheese portion moderate.

Add a source of fiber and healthy fat alongside it, such as avocado, olives, or a small handful of nuts.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if this is safe for you.

If spikes are frequent, check whether the loaf contains added sugar or refined flour and choose a smaller, less sweetened version.
