💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus if consuming, to manage the rapid rise in blood sugar.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – High in healthy fats and protein, nuts can help slow the absorption of sugar.
• Chia pudding – Chia seeds are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, aiding in blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – Protein from chicken helps moderate blood sugar spikes and increases satiety.
• Smoked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, it supports blood sugar management.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Provides healthy fats and fiber, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Raspberries – Lower in carbs and high in fiber, offering a sweet taste with less impact on glucose levels.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and can provide a refreshing taste similar to water-rich fruits like mango.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may rise depending on individual metabolic response and portion size.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize as the body processes the carbohydrates.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

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