💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if consuming, to manage the rapid rise in blood glucose.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado salad – High in healthy fats and fiber which can help slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.
• Tofu stir-fry with mixed vegetables – Provides a high-protein, low-carb meal option that helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken with asparagus – Lean protein and fiber from asparagus help in slow and steady glucose metabolism.
• Beef and broccoli stir-fry – Offers a balanced meal with protein and fiber, minimizing blood sugar spikes.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour crackers – Lower in carbs and provide a good source of healthy fats and protein, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Flaxseed meal crackers – Very low in carbohydrates and high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve glycemic control.
• Cheese crisps – Contain no carbs and are high in protein and fat, which can help to slow glucose absorption.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as no food has been consumed yet.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may begin to rise if rice puffs are consumed due to their high glycemic index.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may peak and then start to decline, potentially leading to a rapid drop, which could cause hypoglycemia if insulin or medications are not adjusted.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine with a source of healthy fats or protein to slow digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.
