💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or splitting the insulin dose if included in the meal plan.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled tofu – High in protein and low in carbs, complementing the dessert without adding extra sugars.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helping to further stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Provides lean protein that helps moderate blood sugar increases when paired with low-carb dishes.
• Baked salmon – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve insulin sensitivity, aiding in blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber than traditional flour, helping to reduce blood sugar spikes.
• Erythritol – A sugar alcohol that does not impact blood glucose levels, making it a safe sweetener for diabetics.
• Chia seeds – Adds texture and fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugars and manage blood sugar levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Slower rise in blood sugar due to fiber and low-carb ingredients.
• 2–3 hr: More stable blood sugar levels, avoiding significant spikes typical with high-carb desserts.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace sugar with a natural low-carb sweetener and use almond flour instead of traditional flour for the topping.
