💉 Suggested Bolus

If high in carbs, consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage blood sugar rise post-meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled tofu with avocado – High in protein and healthy fats, supporting satiety and blood sugar stability.
• Eggplant lasagna – Uses slices of eggplant instead of pasta, reducing carbs and adding fiber and nutrients.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Chicken stir-fry with mixed vegetables – Provides a high-protein meal with low-carb vegetables, aiding in glucose control.
• Beef and broccoli – Low in carbohydrates and high in protein, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cauliflower rice – Low in carbs and provides a similar texture to traditional rice, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Zucchini noodles – A great pasta substitute that significantly reduces carbohydrate intake and increases nutrient density.
• Almond flour – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber than traditional flour, ideal for baking and cooking.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact on blood sugar due to low glycemic index of the substitutes.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar levels as the body digests high-fiber, low-carb ingredients.
• 2–3 hr: Continued blood sugar control without significant spikes, supporting overall glucose management.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

If C2 is high in carbohydrates, consider reducing portion size or substituting with a lower-carb alternative.
