💉 Suggested Bolus

If using insulin, consider a smaller bolus due to the low carb content, or time the bolus to match the slower digestion rate of proteins and fats.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Flaxseed meal crackers – Provides a crunchy texture with minimal carbs, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are beneficial for heart health.
• Almond flour chapati – Low in carbohydrates and high in dietary fiber, helping to maintain a lower glycemic index.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – High in protein and low in carbs, complementing the curd without adding extra sugars.
• Smoked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, adding minimal carbs to the meal.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Greek yogurt – Higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates, helping to manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
• Coconut yogurt – Dairy-free and typically lower in carbs, suitable for those managing lactose intolerance alongside diabetes.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as curd is low in carbohydrates and has a slow digestion rate.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar due to the natural sugars in curd, but generally moderate due to its fat and protein content.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should stabilize due to the protein and fat in curd, which help slow the release of sugars.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in moderation and possibly combine with a source of fiber or healthy fats to further slow the absorption of sugars.
