💉 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)

• Almond-crusted baked avocado – Healthy fats in avocado help with satiety and blood sugar control.
• Spinach and feta stuffed mushrooms – Low in carbs and high in nutrients, supporting overall health without spiking glucose.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad with olive oil dressing – Protein from chicken aids in glucose management and prolongs satiety.
• Pan-seared salmon with asparagus – Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Greek yogurt with a dash of cinnamon – Offers protein and probiotics with minimal impact on blood sugar.
• Chia seed pudding made with almond milk – Provides fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as sugar-free pudding generally contains low or no carbs.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to lack of significant carbohydrate content.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar, assuming no additional carbs are consumed.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

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