⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline
- 0–15 min: Little to no impact as the body begins to digest the food.
- 30–60 min: A gradual increase in blood sugar if a low-carb substitute is used; spikes may occur with high-carb options like traditional kodri.
- 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize if appropriate low-carb substitutes are used; fluctuations more likely with higher carb meals.
