💉 Suggested Bolus

Given the low carb content, a standard bolus or no bolus might be required, depending on individual insulin sensitivity and total daily insulin regimen.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helps to further moderate blood sugar levels.
• Spinach – Low in carbs and high in fiber, adding bulk and nutrients without spiking glucose.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Smoked salmon – Provides omega-3 fatty acids and adds high-quality protein without carbs.
• Bacon – Adds flavor and fats, which can help to increase satiety and stabilize blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Whole eggs – Using whole eggs instead of just egg whites adds healthy fats and nutrients while keeping carbs minimal.
• Almond flour – Using almond flour instead of regular flour can add protein and reduce carbohydrate content significantly.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact on blood sugar as the meal is high in protein and fats.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase may occur depending on individual insulin sensitivity, but generally stable.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain stable due to the low carbohydrate content and high protein and fat which slow digestion.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Use high-fat cheese and cook with healthy fats like olive oil or butter to further reduce the glycemic response.
