💉 Suggested Bolus

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

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado Salad – High in fiber and healthy fats, complementing the protein intake without adding carbs.
• Zucchini Noodles – Adds volume and fiber to the meal without significant carbs.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled Chicken Breast – Provides additional protein to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Smoked Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond Flour Crackers – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, helping to maintain stable blood glucose levels.
• Cheese Slices – Provide protein and fat with minimal impact on blood sugar.
• Greek Yogurt (unsweetened) – High in protein and probiotics, with very low carbs.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the cookie is low in sugars and high in fibers and proteins.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar due to protein and fat digestion, still within a manageable range.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize due to the low carbohydrate content and high fiber.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume with a source of healthy fats or fiber to slow glucose absorption.
