The subs I order are all vegetables on wheat.

That bread is basically candy. Just make yourself a salad if veggies is what you want.

Well, as a vegetarian, if I ate a salad every time I wanted a vegetable then I'd pretty much only be eating salads. I'm sure you can commiserate with wanting a variety of foods in your diet which would include sandwiches. But knowing that the bread has so much sugar, I can pick other sandwich places most of the time.

Ethiopian and Indian are great options.

but not deep fried.

it's a low bar in the USA

Type 2 diabetes is generally caused more by excessive sugar than deep-fried food.

Yes, and the sugar content of the wheat bread mentioned is extremely high. Further, wheat's glycemic index isn't too far off from sugar.
