💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus if using an insulin pump, to better match the insulin delivery to the delayed digestion of fats.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Almond flour pancakes – Low in carbs and high in fiber, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.
• Chia seed pudding – High in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting blood sugar control and satiety.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – Provides protein and fiber, aiding in slower digestion and reduced blood sugar spikes.
• Egg and avocado omelette – Rich in healthy fats and protein, stabilizing blood sugar levels and providing lasting satiety.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Sugar-free dark chocolate – Lowers carb intake and provides antioxidants without spiking blood sugar.
• Low-carb chocolate mousse – Offers a creamy texture and chocolate flavor with fewer carbs and sugars.
• Frozen berries with whipped cream – Provides a sweet treat with natural sugars and lower carbohydrate content.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fats in ice cream slow down sugar absorption.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels begin to rise as the sugar content is metabolized.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar peaks and begins to stabilize, depending on individual insulin sensitivity and total daily carb intake.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume a smaller portion, such as 50g, and pair with a source of protein or healthy fat to slow glucose absorption.
