💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing insulin or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the delayed glucose response from the fiber content.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado salad – High in healthy fats and fiber, which can help to slow the absorption of any carbs.
• Chia seed pudding – Chia seeds are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, aiding in blood sugar regulation.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and provides high-quality protein that does not spike blood sugar.
• Chicken Caesar salad – Low in carbs and high in protein, helping to maintain stable glucose levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almonds – Provide healthy fats and protein with minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
• Walnuts – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and have a lower glycemic index.
• Pecans – Offer antioxidants and minimal carbs, helping to manage blood sugar spikes.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as nuts release their energy slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to low carbohydrate content and high fiber.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar, supporting prolonged satiety and reduced cravings.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in very small quantities paired with a source of protein or healthy fat to slow glucose absorption.
