💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a smaller bolus of insulin prior to consumption, or use an extended bolus to match the slower digestion rate.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled tofu with herbs – Provides a high-protein, low-carb option that can help balance the meal's macronutrient profile.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helping to further moderate blood sugar levels post-meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Lean protein source that helps maintain muscle mass and stabilizes blood sugar levels.
• Baked salmon – High in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour swallow – Lower in carbohydrates and higher in healthy fats, which can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
• Coconut flour swallow – Provides a reduction in carbs and adds fiber, which can slow glucose absorption.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the psyllium husk can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
• 30–60 min: A moderate rise in blood sugar may occur depending on individual insulin sensitivity and total carbohydrate content of the meal.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize due to the fiber content in the psyllium husk, assuming no other high glycemic foods are consumed.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine with a source of healthy fats or protein to further slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
