💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if using an insulin pump, to manage the slower digestion and absorption rate.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled zucchini with olive oil – Adds fiber and healthy fats without significant carbs, supporting overall blood sugar control.
• Cauliflower rice – Provides a filling, nutritious base that complements the meal without adding excess carbohydrates.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – High in protein, helps moderate blood sugar levels and provides satiety.
• Baked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour halva – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour halva – Provides a low-carb alternative with a boost in fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as sugar-free and low-carb ingredients delay glucose release.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase in blood sugar may occur depending on individual insulin sensitivity and portion size.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should begin to stabilize due to the low glycemic impact of the ingredients used.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in small portions and pair with a source of protein or healthy fat to slow glucose absorption.
