💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the slower digestion and absorption rate.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado salad – High in healthy fats and fiber, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Zucchini noodles – Low in carbohydrates and can substitute for high-carb pasta, reducing blood sugar spikes.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – High in protein and does not contribute to blood sugar spikes.
• Salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and low in carbs, supporting overall metabolic health.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond milk – Lower in carbs and provides healthy fats which can help in managing blood sugar levels.
• Coconut milk – Low in carbohydrates and has a minimal impact on blood sugar.
• Heavy cream diluted with water – Offers a low-carb alternative with higher fat content, which can help to slow glucose absorption.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as the body processes the fat content.
• 30–60 min: Slow, steady rise in blood sugar if any, due to low carb content.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain relatively stable, avoiding significant spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Mix with a higher proportion of water to dilute the carbohydrate concentration or substitute with a lower-carb milk alternative like almond or coconut milk.
