💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if using an insulin pump, to better match the insulin delivery to the delayed digestion of fats/proteins when combined with the rice cake.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado slices – Rich in monounsaturated fats that can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
• Chia seed pudding – High in fiber and protein, which can help maintain blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Provides lean protein that helps moderate blood sugar spikes.
• Smoked salmon – Contains healthy fats and protein, aiding in blood sugar regulation.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour crackers – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Flaxseed meal crackers – Provides omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body begins to digest the food.
• 30–60 min: Possible moderate rise in blood sugar depending on individual sensitivity to carbohydrates.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may begin to stabilize if paired with adequate protein and healthy fats.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Pair with a source of healthy fats or protein, such as a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese, to slow the absorption of glucose.
