💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the slower digestion due to fat content.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled paneer salad – High in protein and low in carbs, helping to balance the meal and reduce overall glycemic load.
• Zucchini noodles with pesto – Provides a filling base with minimal carbs, complementing the low-carb dessert option.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken with avocado salad – Protein-rich and low in carbs, supporting stable blood sugar levels.
• Baked salmon with steamed broccoli – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon enhance heart health, important for diabetes management.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Sugar-free frozen yogurt – Offers a creamy texture similar to kulfi but with fewer carbs and sugars, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut cream popsicles – Made from high-fat coconut cream, these popsicles can satisfy sweet cravings with minimal impact on blood glucose.
• Almond milk ice cream – Lower in carbs and sugars compared to traditional kulfi, and provides a source of healthy fats.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fat content slows down sugar absorption.
• 30–60 min: Gradual increase in blood sugar if any sugars are present.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the low carb content of the substitutes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume a smaller portion or opt for a low-carb alternative dessert.
