💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the delayed digestion and mitigate spikes.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled paneer – High in protein, helping to balance the meal and reduce overall glycemic load.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fibers, aiding in slow digestion and steady blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Provides a high-protein, low-carb option that helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Smoked salmon – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve insulin sensitivity and provide heart health benefits.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour-based sweets – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour-based sweets – Provides a low-carb alternative that is also rich in fiber, aiding in blood sugar control.
• Stevia-sweetened desserts – Eliminates sugar spikes as Stevia does not impact blood glucose levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes do not rapidly elevate blood glucose levels.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion of fats and fibers in the substitutes.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood glucose levels, preventing the typical high followed by a crash seen with high-carb sweets.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

To lower the impact on blood sugar, consider substituting the sugar with a low-calorie sweetener and pair it with a source of fiber or healthy fats to slow glucose absorption.
