💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if consuming, to manage the delayed sugar release.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Paneer – High in protein and fat, which can help slow the absorption of any carbs and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Mixed nuts – Provide healthy fats and proteins, contributing to satiety and minimal impact on blood sugar.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – High in protein and virtually carb-free, supporting stable glucose levels.
• Fish like salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, helping to manage blood sugar and improve overall health.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Berries (such as blueberries or strawberries) – Lower in sugar compared to mangoes and high in antioxidants, providing sweetness without a significant blood sugar spike.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and can provide a refreshing taste similar to that of mild fruits without affecting blood sugar significantly.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes are used.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to the absence of high glycemic index foods.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar, reflecting the benefits of a low-carb dietary approach.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in very small portions or pair with a source of healthy fats or proteins to slow glucose absorption.
