💉 Suggested Bolus

If using insulin, a standard bolus may be appropriate due to the low carb content. Monitor blood glucose post-consumption to adjust future doses.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Cheese platter – Provides protein and fat, which can help slow down any carbohydrate absorption and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Avocado slices – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helping to maintain a steady blood sugar level.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Boiled eggs – High in protein and fats, with virtually no carbs, supporting stable glucose levels.
• Smoked salmon – Provides omega-3 fatty acids and protein, beneficial for blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond milk – Lower in carbs and calories than regular milk, helping to minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Coconut milk – Contains MCTs which can aid in managing blood sugar levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as tea itself is virtually carb-free, but slight increase due to milk.
• 30–60 min: Small peak may occur depending on the amount and type of milk used.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should stabilize, especially if a low-carb milk alternative was used.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Use full-fat milk to reduce the GI and avoid adding sugar or honey. Consider a sugar substitute if sweetness is desired.
