A bread unit is a parameter that makes it easier to control the dose of insulin needed in diabetes mellitus. In the presence of this disease, the body requires regular injections of the hormone insulin since it cannot independently process carbohydrates from food.

Traditionally, bread (like other baked goods) is considered unhealthy high-carbohydrate food with a high glycemic index. However, whole-grain bread can be included in the diabetic diet – which proves the ambiguity of this food product.
