💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a smaller or no bolus insulin dose due to low carb content.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado – Rich in healthy fats, adding avocado can help enhance satiety and slow the absorption of any carbs, aiding in blood sugar control.
• Spinach – Low in carbs and high in fiber, spinach is an excellent nutrient-dense addition that can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – Adding a lean protein like grilled chicken can help balance the meal, prolonging fullness and preventing blood sugar spikes.
• Smoked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, smoked salmon can add flavor and heart-healthy fats, supporting overall metabolic health.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Tempeh – Lower in carbs and higher in protein, tempeh can provide a more textured alternative to tofu, helping to keep blood sugar levels more stable.
• Egg whites – Egg whites are a high-protein, virtually no-carb substitute that can mimic the texture of tofu while providing essential nutrients without impacting blood sugar.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact on blood sugar as tofu is low in carbohydrates.
• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels should remain stable due to the low carb content of the tofu scramble.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stability in blood sugar levels, with no significant spikes expected due to the low glycemic index of the ingredients.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Add more non-starchy vegetables and healthy fats like avocado or olive oil.
