• Zucchini Chips – Offer a crunchy snack option with significantly fewer carbohydrates.
• Turnip Fries – Lower glycemic index, helping to manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may begin to rise depending on individual insulin sensitivity and the amount consumed.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may peak and then start to stabilize as insulin processes the carbohydrates.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a lower-carb alternative such as roasted vegetables or a salad.
