💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if consuming larger portions, to manage the slower digestion and absorption rate.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado salad – High in fiber and healthy fats, complementing the protein from peanuts for a balanced meal.
• Grilled tofu – Provides additional protein without significant carbs, supporting stable blood glucose levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Adds lean protein to the meal, aiding in satiety and blood sugar control.
• Baked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, helping to manage blood sugar and improve heart health.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almonds – Lower in carbs and provide a good source of healthy fats, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Walnuts – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which can improve heart health without spiking blood glucose.
• Pumpkin seeds – Offer magnesium and other minerals, supporting blood sugar control and reducing insulin resistance.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as peanuts are low in carbohydrates and have a low glycemic index.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar may occur, depending on individual insulin sensitivity and the amount consumed.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain relatively stable due to the high fiber and protein content in peanuts.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in moderation and pair with a source of protein or healthy fat to slow glucose absorption.
