💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the fat-protein combined impact on blood glucose.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed green salad with olive oil dressing – Adds fiber and healthy fats to the meal, aiding in slower digestion and glucose absorption.
• Grilled vegetables – Provides essential nutrients and fiber, helping to balance the meal and support overall blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – High in protein and low in carbs, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety without impacting blood sugar significantly.
• Pan-seared salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, beneficial for heart health and stable blood glucose levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour cheesecake – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber, which can help manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour cheesecake – Provides a low-carb alternative with a mild coconut flavor, beneficial for maintaining steadier glucose levels.
• No-bake cheesecake with stevia – Eliminates sugar and reduces carbs, using stevia as a natural sweetener to prevent blood sugar spikes.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fats and proteins digest slowly.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase possible depending on the amount and types of sweeteners used.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain relatively stable if a low-carb, sugar-free option is consumed.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a version made with a low-carb sweetener and an almond flour base.
