⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline
- 0–15 min: Malai is a high-fat dairy product that may have minimal impact on blood sugar levels initially.
- 30–60 min: Due to its fat content, Malai may still have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
- 2–3 hr: Malai's high fat content can help slow down the absorption of any carbohydrates consumed with it, potentially leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels.
“In a low-carb diabetes community, individuals may use Malai in moderation as part of a high-fat, low-carb meal to help manage blood sugar levels.”
