💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider a dual-wave or extended bolus if using an insulin pump, to manage the delayed fat-induced rise in blood glucose.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Greek salad – Provides a healthy dose of fats and fibers, complementing the low-carb fritters without adding excess carbs.
• Sauteed greens – High in fiber and nutrients, helping to maintain a low glycemic load.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken – High in protein, which helps in slow digestion and sustained energy without impacting blood sugar levels.
• Pan-seared salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, supporting cardiovascular health important for diabetes management.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour fritters – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, which can help manage blood sugar levels.
• Cauliflower fritters – Significantly lower in carbohydrates and provide a good source of fiber.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes do not rapidly increase blood glucose.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion of fats and fibers.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood glucose levels, preventing late postprandial spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume with a side of high-fiber vegetables or a protein-rich food to slow glucose absorption.
