💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the slower digestion of fats and proteins along with the rapid absorption of sugars.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled zucchini and eggplant – Low in carbs and provides fiber, which helps in moderating blood sugar levels.
• Cauliflower rice – Acts as a low-carb base, helping to fill without causing glucose spikes.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which can help improve insulin sensitivity.
• Roasted chicken – High in protein, supporting satiety without impacting blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond milk panna cotta – Offers a similar creamy texture with significantly fewer carbs and sugars, using almond milk and a sugar substitute.
• Coconut cream custard – Uses coconut milk and a low-carb sweetener to provide a rich, creamy dessert without the high sugar content.
• Greek yogurt with vanilla extract – Provides a creamy texture with probiotics and minimal carbs, enhanced with natural vanilla for flavor.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest more slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar levels due to reduced carbohydrate content.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood glucose, preventing late postprandial spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a version made with a sugar substitute and full-fat milk or cream to reduce carbohydrate content.
