💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the delayed digestion from the fiber content.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado slices – Healthy fats in avocado can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Spinach and feta scramble – High in protein and healthy fats, offering satiety and minimal impact on blood sugar.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Smoked salmon – Provides omega-3 fatty acids and protein, aiding in blood sugar regulation and heart health.
• Egg and turkey sausage scramble – High in protein, helps maintain blood sugar levels and provides lasting energy.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour bread – Lower in carbs and higher in fiber, helps manage blood sugar levels better than traditional bread.
• Coconut flour flatbread – Very low in carbs and provides a mild, sweet flavor suitable for various toppings.
• Flaxseed meal muffin – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting blood sugar control and heart health.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest more slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar levels due to slow release of glucose from low-carb alternatives.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood glucose, preventing spikes and crashes typical with higher carb options.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Pair with high-fiber vegetables or a source of healthy fats and proteins to slow glucose absorption.
