💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus if consuming, to manage the delayed sugar absorption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled paneer – High in protein and low in carbs, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, which can help slow the absorption of any carbs consumed.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Provides a high-protein, low-carb option that helps maintain steady glucose levels.
• Salmon with herbs – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour cookies – Lower in carbs and higher in dietary fiber, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flakes – Low in carbohydrates and can satisfy sweet cravings without spiking blood sugar.
• Dark chocolate (above 70% cocoa) – Contains less sugar and more antioxidants compared to milk chocolate, aiding in better blood sugar control.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fats and proteins are slower to digest.
• 30–60 min: Gradual increase if any, depending on the amount and type of carbs consumed.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the low-carb nature of the meal.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Limit intake and consider consuming a small portion with a source of protein or healthy fat to slow glucose absorption.
