💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing insulin or using a dual-wave bolus if on insulin therapy to manage the anticipated spike.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – Provides healthy fats and proteins, which can help balance blood sugar levels when eating fruits.
• Greek yogurt (unsweetened) – High in protein and fat, low in carbs, helping to reduce the overall glycemic index of the meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Lean protein helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and adds satiety to meals.
• Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supporting blood sugar control and cardiovascular health.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Berries (such as blueberries or strawberries) – Lower in sugar and carbs than custard apple, and high in fiber which helps slow glucose absorption.
• Chia seeds – High in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to a slower rise in blood glucose levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Moderate rise in blood sugar, depending on portion size and ripeness of the fruit.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar begins to stabilize as the high fiber content helps to slow the release of sugar.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in small portions and pair with a source of healthy fats or proteins to slow glucose absorption.
