💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the rapid increase in blood sugar post-meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Stir-fried Tofu with Spinach – High in protein and iron, adding nutritional value without additional carbs.
• Avocado and Walnut Salad – Healthy fats and fiber promote satiety and slow glucose absorption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled Chicken Breast with Herbs – Lean protein helps in maintaining muscle mass and stabilizing blood sugar levels.
• Pan-Seared Salmon with Asparagus – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve cardiovascular health and have minimal impact on blood sugar.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cauliflower Rice Porridge – Offers a similar texture with significantly lower carbs, helping to maintain stable blood glucose levels.
• Chia Seed Pudding – Provides high fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help in slowing down glucose absorption.
• Almond Flour Congee – Lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein, aiding in better blood sugar control.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow release of glucose from low-carb options.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stability in blood sugar, preventing spikes typical of high-carb meals.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Add a source of healthy fats or protein, such as nuts or seeds, to slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
