💉 Suggested Bolus

If insulin adjustment is needed, 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)

• Grilled zucchini – Provides fiber and nutrients with minimal carbs, complementing the richness of the curry.
• Spinach salad – Adds volume and fiber to the meal without contributing excess carbs, aiding in overall digestion and satiety.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken skewers – Adds additional protein to the meal, helping to further moderate blood sugar levels post-meal.
• Pan-seared salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, enhances the meal's nutritional profile and supports heart health.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Coconut flour – Lower in carbs than traditional flour, helps thicken curry without adding excess carbohydrates.
• Cauliflower rice – A low-carb alternative to rice that complements the curry without causing significant blood sugar spikes.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the dish primarily contains protein and fats.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar depending on the amount of thickening agents used in the curry.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should stabilize due to the high protein and healthy fats from the crab and coconut milk.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a version with less or no sugar and minimal thickening agents like flour or cornstarch.
