💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing insulin or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the delayed digestion and absorption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado salad – High in healthy fats and fiber, helps slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Grilled tempeh – Low in carbs and high in protein, supports blood sugar control and satiety.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – High in protein, helps moderate blood sugar levels and enhances meal satisfaction.
• Baked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supports cardiovascular health and blood sugar stability.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Lettuce wraps – Significantly lower in carbs, helps reduce blood sugar spikes and increases vegetable intake.
• Almond flour bread – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber and protein, which can help manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour flatbread – Low in carbs and rich in fiber, aiding in slower digestion and steadier blood sugar levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact on blood sugar.
• 30–60 min: Moderate rise in blood sugar, depending on individual insulin sensitivity and overall carb intake for the meal.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar begins to stabilize as insulin responds to the initial carb load.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace with a lower-carb alternative such as flaxseed bread or almond flour bread.
