💉 Suggested Bolus

Pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus may help manage the slower digestion and absorption rate of the lactose in milk.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Chia seed pudding made with unsweetened almond milk – Provides a high-fiber, low-carb alternative that helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Mixed nuts – Healthy fats and proteins with minimal impact on blood sugar.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Boiled eggs – High in protein and fats with virtually no carbohydrates, supporting stable blood glucose.
• Grilled chicken salad – Lean protein helps moderate blood sugar levels and increases satiety.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Unsweetened almond milk – Lower in carbohydrates and calories, helping to better manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut milk – Contains MCTs which can aid in managing insulin sensitivity.
• Heavy cream diluted with water – Provides a creamy texture with significantly fewer carbs than milk.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as liquid foods can be absorbed quickly, but fat content moderates the response.
• 30–60 min: A moderate rise in blood sugar due to lactose, a sugar found in milk.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize as the protein and fat in milk slow down the absorption of lactose.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consider replacing with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk which have lower carbohydrate content.
