💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus if using an insulin pump to manage the rapid rise in blood sugar post-consumption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – Provides healthy fats and proteins, which can help slow the absorption of sugars and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Chia seeds – High in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can aid in blood sugar control when added to a low-carb yogurt or salad.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Lean protein source that helps balance the meal, reducing the glycemic load and supporting steady blood glucose levels.
• Boiled eggs – Rich in proteins and fats, which can help mitigate the blood sugar rise typically caused by higher-carb foods.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Berries (such as raspberries or blackberries) – Lower in sugar and higher in fiber compared to mangoes, which can help minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and can provide a refreshing taste similar to that of a sweet fruit without the sugar rush.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact on blood sugar as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may rise depending on the amount of mango consumed, as it contains natural sugars.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may begin to stabilize if paired with a source of fat or protein.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in very small portions or pair with a source of healthy fats or protein to slow glucose absorption.
