💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus if using an insulin pump, to manage the delayed blood sugar rise from the fruit's natural sugars.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – Provides healthy fats and proteins that can help slow the absorption of sugar.
• Chia seeds – High in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Lean protein helps moderate blood sugar levels and increases satiety.
• Boiled eggs – Rich in proteins and fats, which can help slow down the digestion of sugars.

🥄 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 carbs and high in fiber, which can help minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and calories, making it a hydrating snack that won't affect blood sugar significantly.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Potential moderate rise in blood sugar due to the natural sugars in mango.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may begin to stabilize if paired with a source of fat or protein.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume mango in smaller portions, such as 50g, and pair it with a source of healthy fats or proteins to slow the absorption of sugar.
