💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing insulin or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the rapid increase in blood glucose.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled zucchini – Low in carbohydrates and provides a filling addition to the meal without significantly impacting blood sugar levels.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, stabilizing blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – High in protein and does not contribute to blood sugar spikes, supporting overall meal balance.
• Pan-seared salmon – Provides omega-3 fatty acids and helps maintain satiety, reducing the likelihood of overeating carbohydrates.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cauliflower patties – Lower in carbs and provides a similar texture and bulk, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Almond flour – Used for thickening the ragda, it has fewer carbs and a lower glycemic index compared to traditional flour.
• Ground flaxseeds – Can be used to add thickness and texture to dishes while being rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no significant change in blood sugar levels as the body begins to process the meal.
• 30–60 min: A moderate increase in blood sugar could be observed, depending on the exact ingredients and their proportions.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize, especially if smart substitutes are used and portion control is practiced.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace potato patties with patties made from low-carb vegetables like cauliflower. Reduce the portion size of the white pea curry.
