💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing insulin or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the delayed digestion of the fruit sugars.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – Healthy fats and proteins in nuts can help slow the absorption of sugars, stabilizing blood glucose levels.
• Chia pudding – Chia seeds are high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help manage blood sugar spikes.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – Protein from chicken helps moderate blood sugar levels, while the greens provide necessary nutrients without excess carbs.
• Egg and spinach omelette – Eggs are a high-protein, low-carb option that helps to keep blood sugar levels stable.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Avocado – Provides healthy fats and fiber with minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
• Berries (such as blueberries or strawberries) – Lower in carbs and have a lower glycemic index compared to mango, helping to manage blood sugar spikes.
• Cucumber slices – Very low in carbohydrates and can provide a refreshing taste similar to that of a sweet fruit without the sugar rush.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Little to no significant change in blood sugar as digestion begins.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels may begin to rise depending on individual metabolic response.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels may start to stabilize if appropriate measures like pairing with fats or proteins are taken.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine with a source of healthy fats or protein, such as a handful of nuts, to slow the absorption of sugar.
