⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

0–15 min: Minimal impact as absorption is slower due to fiber content.
30–60 min: Moderate increase in blood sugar, depending on portion size and individual metabolic response.
2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the high fiber content slowing digestion.

“Many in the low-carb community find that integrating high-fiber, low-carb options like chia or flaxseed into meals helps manage post-meal blood sugar spikes more effectively.”
