💉 Suggested Bolus

Typically, no bolus adjustment is needed due to the low glycemic impact of avocados.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Almond flour crackers – Low in carbs and provide a crunchy texture that complements the creaminess of avocados.
• Chia seeds – Add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids to the meal, enhancing fullness and blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Smoked salmon – Provides high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, complementing the healthy fats in avocados for optimal satiety and minimal impact on blood sugar.
• Boiled eggs – Rich in protein and fats, they pair well with avocados for a filling meal that supports stable blood glucose levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Macadamia nuts – High in healthy fats and very low in carbs, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Olives – Low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats, similar to avocados, suitable for blood sugar control.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: No significant impact on blood sugar levels due to low carb content.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels remain stable as avocados are high in fats and fiber, which slow the release of sugars.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar levels; the healthy fats and fiber in avocados provide prolonged satiety without spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume avocados as part of a mixed meal with other low-carb, high-fiber foods to further stabilize blood sugar levels.
