💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if using insulin, to manage the slower digestion and absorption due to high fat and protein content.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Greek yogurt (unsweetened) – Adds protein to the meal, aiding in satiety and further slowing the digestion of carbohydrates.
• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats that can help to stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Boiled eggs – Provides high-quality protein and fats, which help to minimize blood sugar spikes.
• Smoked salmon – Offers omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supporting cardiovascular health and glycemic control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Flaxseed granola – Lower in carbs and higher in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation.
• Chia seed pudding – Provides a good source of fiber and protein with minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flakes – Offers a crunchy texture with minimal carbs and can help increase satiety.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the high fiber and fat content slows down glucose absorption.
• 30–60 min: Gradual increase in blood sugar, if any, due to slow digestion of fats and proteins.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain stable, with no significant spikes, thanks to the low carbohydrate content and high fiber.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Choose a version with no added sugars and a higher proportion of nuts and seeds to further reduce carbohydrate content.
