💉 Suggested Bolus

If high in carbohydrates, consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage blood sugar rise post-meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Spinach salad – High in fiber and nutrients with very low carbs, complementing any low-carb diet.
• Zucchini noodles – A low-carb alternative to pasta, adding volume without the carbs.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – High in protein, helps in satiety and has a minimal effect on blood sugar levels.
• Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in carbs, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almonds – Low in carbs and high in healthy fats, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Cheese – Provides protein and fat with minimal impact on blood glucose.
• Avocado – Rich in monounsaturated fats and very low in carbs, supporting blood sugar control.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb foods do not cause rapid blood sugar spikes.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion of fats and proteins.
• 2–3 hr: Continued blood sugar stability, preventing late postprandial hypoglycemia.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Pending specific carbohydrate content, consider pairing with high-fiber or protein-rich foods to mitigate blood sugar spikes.
