💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus if consuming, to manage the slower digestion of fats and the rapid absorption of sugars.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – Provides healthy fats and proteins, which can help slow the absorption of sugar.
• Cheese – High in fat and protein, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels when paired with fruits like durian.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Lean protein source that helps balance the meal and reduce the glycemic load.
• Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supporting overall metabolic health and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Lower in carbohydrates and provides healthy fats that can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Raspberries – Low in carbs and high in fiber, helping to minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Blackberries – Low glycemic index and high in fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as durian has a moderate glycemic index and the body starts to digest the fruit.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may begin to rise depending on individual metabolic response and portion size.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may start to stabilize as the fiber content in durian helps to slow the overall glucose release.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in very small quantities or pair with a source of healthy fats or protein to slow the absorption of sugars.
