💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus if using insulin, to manage the rapid rise in blood sugar post-meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled tofu – Provides a high-protein complement to the meal, enhancing satiety without adding carbs.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helps to moderate blood sugar rise.
• Sautéed spinach – Low in carbs and high in iron and fiber, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Lean protein source that helps maintain muscle mass and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Baked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health and glycemic control.
• Beef stir-fry with non-starchy vegetables – Provides protein and fiber, minimizing blood sugar spikes.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour – Lower in carbs and has a higher protein content, which can help in managing blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour – Very low in carbs and high in fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.
• Flaxseed meal – High in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting blood sugar control and heart health.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes do not spike blood glucose levels rapidly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion and absorption of nutrients.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood glucose levels, preventing the typical high followed by a crash seen with high-carb meals.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine bansi rava with high-fiber vegetables and healthy fats to slow the absorption of glucose.
