💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the delayed digestion of fats and proteins along with the immediate rise from carbs.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed greens salad with olive oil and vinegar – Adds fiber and healthy fats to the meal, aiding in slower digestion and further stabilizing blood sugar levels.
• Steamed asparagus with lemon zest – Provides a low-carb side that complements the main dish without adding significant carbs, supporting overall metabolic control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled sardines – Offers high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, enhancing satiety and blood sugar control.
• Roasted chicken breast – Lean protein helps to moderate blood glucose levels and provides essential nutrients without carbs.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cauliflower rice sushi – Reduces carb content significantly by replacing rice with cauliflower, helping to minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Nori wraps with salmon and avocado – Eliminates rice and focuses on high-protein and healthy fats, supporting stable blood glucose levels.
• Cucumber rolls – Uses cucumber instead of rice for wrapping, drastically cutting down on carbs and calories.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact on blood sugar due to low glycemic ingredients.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar levels as the body processes the minimal carbs from vegetables and digests protein and fats.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar, with a slow and steady digestion of natural fats and proteins providing sustained energy without spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace the rice with cauliflower rice to significantly reduce the carbohydrate content.
