⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as liquid foods can be absorbed quickly, but lower carb options may slow this.
• 30–60 min: A potential moderate rise in blood sugar, depending on individual insulin sensitivity and carb content of the milk.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize, especially with lower carb milk substitutes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consider replacing skim milk with unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk, which have lower carbohydrate content.
