💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing if using insulin, or use a smaller serving size to minimize impact.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Chia seed pudding – High in fiber and healthy fats, helps in slow digestion and stable blood sugar levels.
• Avocado toast on almond flour bread – Provides healthy fats and fiber, minimizing blood sugar spikes.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Scrambled eggs with spinach – High in protein and low in carbs, supporting stable glucose levels.
• Smoked salmon on a low-carb bagel – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, helps in blood sugar management.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Unsweetened almond milk – Lower in carbs and calories, helps in managing blood sugar levels.
• Coconut cream – Rich in healthy fats that can help stabilize blood sugar.
• Heavy cream – Low in carbs and can add richness without spiking glucose levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fat content slows absorption of any present carbs.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase if any sugars are present, but generally stable if low-carb options are used.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain relatively stable, especially with low-carb, high-fat substitutes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a sugar-free or unsweetened version, or use a small amount of heavy cream with natural hazelnut extract instead.
