💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus if using insulin.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled Tofu – High in protein and low in carbs, helping to balance the meal and reduce overall glycemic load.
• Avocado Salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, which can help slow down the absorption of any carbs consumed, aiding in smoother blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled Chicken – Provides a high-protein, low-carb complement to meals, aiding in satiety and minimal blood sugar impact.
• Baked Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in carbs, supporting heart health and blood sugar stability.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cauliflower – Lower in carbs and can mimic the texture of potatoes when mashed or riced, helping to reduce blood sugar spikes.
• Turnips – Contain fewer carbs and can be used in place of potatoes in many dishes, providing a similar texture with less impact on glucose levels.
• Radishes – Much lower in carbohydrates and can be roasted to offer a potato-like texture and flavor with minimal blood sugar impact.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Moderate increase if original high-carb potatoes are used; significantly less if substituted with suggested low-carb alternatives.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize, especially with low-carb substitutes which result in a more gradual glucose absorption.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine with high-fiber vegetables and healthy fats to slow glucose absorption.
