💉 Suggested Bolus

If consumed, consider using a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the slower digestion of fats along with the rapid absorption of sugars.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – High in healthy fats and protein, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Chia seed pudding – Low in carbs and high in fiber, aiding in slower digestion and glucose absorption.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – Protein helps moderate blood sugar spikes and adds satiety.
• Smoked salmon rolls – Omega-3 fatty acids and protein help to stabilize blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Sugar-free frozen yogurt – Lower in sugar and carbs, helping to minimize blood glucose spikes.
• Coconut cream based ice cream – Contains healthy fats that can help slow the absorption of sugars.
• Almond milk ice cream – Lower in carbohydrates and sugars, suitable for a low-carb diet.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Initial rise in blood sugar due to the high sugar content in traditional soft ice cream.
• 30–60 min: Peak in blood sugar levels, potentially leading to hyperglycemia if insulin response is inadequate.
• 2–3 hr: Gradual decline in blood sugar levels, but may remain elevated longer without proper dietary management.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a low-carb, sugar-free version made with alternative sweeteners like stevia or erythritol.
