💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or splitting the insulin dose if using insulin.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado and spinach salad – Healthy fats in avocado provide satiety and fiber in spinach helps in slow digestion, both aiding in stable blood glucose levels.
• Grilled paneer – High in protein and low in carbs, helping to maintain blood sugar levels without spikes.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken strips – Protein-rich, supports muscle health and helps in moderating blood glucose levels.
• Smoked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Coconut flour tortilla – Lower in carbs and provides a source of healthy fats, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Almond flour tortilla – Offers a reduced carbohydrate alternative and is rich in dietary fiber, aiding in blood sugar control.
• Lettuce wraps – Virtually carb-free and adds a crunch, making it a fresh, nutritious substitute for traditional tortillas.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes digest slower, causing less immediate rise in blood sugar.
• 30–60 min: Gradual increase in blood sugar, if any, due to high fiber content in substitutes like almond or coconut flour.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the slow and steady digestion of fats and fibers from the low-carb tortilla substitutes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a lower-carb alternative such as a lettuce wrap or use a high-fiber, low-carb tortilla.
