💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if using an insulin pump, to manage the moderate rise in blood sugar post-consumption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – High in healthy fats and protein, nuts can help slow the absorption of sugar.
• Chia seeds – Rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels when added to a low-carb yogurt or salad.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Protein-rich and carb-free, helping to balance the meal and reduce overall glycemic load.
• Boiled eggs – Provide a good source of protein and fats, aiding in slower digestion and steadier blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Offers healthy fats and very low carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Berries (such as raspberries or blackberries) – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber compared to peaches, which can help minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and can provide a refreshing taste without significant blood sugar impact.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to digest the peach.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may rise due to the natural sugars in the peach.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize as the body processes the sugars.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Pair the peach with a source of healthy fats or proteins, such as a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese, to slow the absorption of sugars.
