💉 Suggested Bolus

Pre-bolus 15-20 minutes before eating to match insulin action with the rapid digestion of high-glycemic carbohydrates.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Stir-fried tofu – High in protein and low in carbs, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Mixed vegetable stir-fry – Fiber-rich and low in carbohydrates, aiding in slower digestion and glucose absorption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken strips – Provides high-quality protein that helps moderate blood sugar levels.
• Pan-seared salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in carbs, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cabbage leaves – Low in carbs and can be used as a wrap, reducing glucose spikes.
• Lettuce wraps – Very low carbohydrate content and adds a fresh, crunchy texture.
• Almond flour wrappers – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber compared to traditional flour wrappers.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact as the body begins to digest.
• 30–60 min: Moderate rise in blood sugar if traditional high-carb wrappers are used.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar begins to stabilize, especially if low-carb substitutes are used.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Use alternative low-carb wrappers made from coconut flour or almond flour, or consider using leafy greens like cabbage as a wrapper.
