💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider splitting the bolus or using an extended bolus to manage the slower digestion of the fiber.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled tofu with herbs – Provides a high-protein, low-carb option that complements the fat content in low-carb snacks.
• Spinach and mushroom salad – Adds fiber and essential nutrients without adding significant carbs, supporting overall blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Lean protein helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and pairs well with low-carb snacks.
• Baked salmon with dill – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve heart health and the low carb content helps manage blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Berries – Lower in carbs and have a lower glycemic index compared to apples, helping to minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and can provide a crunchy, satisfying snack without significant blood sugar impact.
• Nuts – High in fats and protein, low in carbs, which can help maintain blood sugar levels and provide satiety.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes are digested slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion and absorption of fats and proteins.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stability in blood sugar levels, with no significant spikes or drops.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume with a source of protein or healthy fat to slow glucose absorption, or choose a lower-carb fruit option.
