💉 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 – Provide healthy fats and proteins with minimal impact on blood sugar.
• Chia seed pudding – High in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting blood sugar control and satiety.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – High in protein and low in carbs, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Boiled eggs – Rich in protein and fats, with virtually no carbohydrates, supporting steady glucose levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and calories, providing hydration and fullness without spiking blood sugar.
• Berries (like blueberries or strawberries) – Lower in carbs compared to other fruits and high in fiber, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion and low carbohydrate content.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar, with no significant spikes or drops.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine with a source of healthy fats or protein to slow glucose absorption.
