💉 Suggested Bolus

If insulin is used, consider a smaller bolus due to the lower carb content, and monitor blood glucose post-consumption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Chia seed pudding – High in fiber and healthy fats, chia seeds can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Avocado salad – Avocados are low in carbs and high in fiber and healthy fats, aiding in blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – Protein from chicken helps moderate blood sugar spikes, while greens provide essential nutrients without excess carbs.
• Smoked salmon and cream cheese – The high protein and healthy fat content in salmon and cream cheese can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond milk tea – Lower in carbs and sugars, almond milk can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
• Coconut milk tea – Coconut milk is rich in healthy fats and lower in carbs, providing a more stable energy release.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the beverage is sugar-free and primarily contains fat and protein from milk.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar due to lactose, a natural sugar found in milk.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize, assuming no additional carbs are consumed.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consider using almond milk or coconut milk to further reduce carbohydrate content.
