💉 Suggested Bolus

Pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus may help manage the blood sugar rise after consuming.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed greens salad with olive oil and vinegar – Adds fiber and healthy fats without additional carbs, aiding in overall glycemic control.
• Steamed asparagus with lemon zest – Provides a low-carb vegetable option rich in fiber, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which can improve insulin sensitivity.
• Roasted chicken with herbs – High in protein and low in carbs, supporting stable blood glucose levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond milk panna cotta – Lower in carbs and provides a good source of vitamin E and magnesium.
• Coconut cream panna cotta – Higher in healthy fats and fiber, which can help slow glucose absorption.
• Greek yogurt panna cotta – Higher in protein, aiding in satiety and blood sugar stabilization.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fats and proteins digest slower, causing less immediate rise in blood sugar.
• 30–60 min: Gradual increase in blood sugar depending on the amount and type of sweetener used in the recipe.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the slow digestion of fats and proteins.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace sugar with a low-calorie sweetener and use full-fat cream to reduce overall carbohydrate content.
