💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if consuming, to manage the slower digestion of fats and proteins along with carbs.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Zucchini noodles – Low in carbohydrates and can help fill you up without adding significant calories or sugars.
• Mixed green salad with vinaigrette – High in fiber and nutrients while being low in carbs, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Steamed or grilled fish – High in protein and healthy fats, contributing to satiety without impacting blood sugar levels.
• Eggplant lasagna – Provides a hearty dish without the high carbs found in traditional pasta, helping to maintain stable glucose levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Grilled chicken strips – Lower in carbs and calories, and free from the breading that can spike blood sugar.
• Baked cauliflower bites – Provides a crunchy texture similar to tempura but with significantly fewer carbs and a lower glycemic impact.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact as the body begins to digest the meal.
• 30–60 min: Potential moderate rise in blood sugar due to the breading on the nuggets.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar may begin to stabilize if paired with fiber-rich, low-carb sides.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Remove the tempura batter to reduce carbohydrate content.
