Opt for whole grain or multigrain bread instead of white bread for your sandwich. Whole grains generally cause a slower rise in blood sugar levels.

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey breast. Protein can help to moderate blood sugar spikes.

Add healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of olive oil-based spread. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Use a thin layer of spread, or choose a low-sugar, low-fat alternative to mayonnaise or butter.

Add extra fiber-rich vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and spinach to your sandwich to help slow sugar absorption.

Be mindful of the portion size of your sandwich. Consider having half a sandwich with a side of salad or a small portion of nuts.

Drink a glass of water alongside your meal to aid digestion and reduce the concentration of glucose in your bloodstream.

Engage in a light activity like walking after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.
