💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the rapid rise in blood sugar.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado Salad – High in healthy fats and fiber, helping to further stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Zucchini Noodles – Very low in carbs and provide a satisfying texture similar to pasta without the glucose spike.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled Chicken Breast – Provides high-quality protein without carbs, supporting blood sugar control.
• Smoked Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, aiding in blood sugar regulation and satiety.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond Flour Biscuits – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut Flour Pancakes – Significantly lower in carbs and can be enriched with fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.
• Flaxseed Meal Wraps – Very low in carbohydrates and high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve insulin sensitivity.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest more slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion and absence of sugar spikes.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood glucose levels, preventing the typical high followed by a crash.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Pair with a high-protein or high-fiber food to slow glucose absorption.
