💉 Suggested Bolus

If insulin is used, consider the fat content which may delay glucose absorption; adjust timing of bolus accordingly.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado slices – Rich in healthy fats that can help to slow the absorption of any carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Steamed broccoli – Low in carbs and high in fiber, aiding in fullness and blood sugar control.
• Mixed nuts – Provide healthy fats and proteins, complementing the protein in vienna sausages without adding carbs.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Smoked salmon – Offers omega-3 fatty acids and protein, enhancing heart health and glycemic control.
• Grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto – Low in carbs and provides a satisfying combination of fat and protein to help manage blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Grilled chicken breast – Higher in protein and contains no added sugars or preservatives, offering a cleaner protein source.
• Hard-boiled eggs – Provide a natural source of protein and fats with minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
• Turkey jerky – Lower in fat and without the additives found in many canned meats, while still being low in carbohydrates.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as vienna sausages are low in carbohydrates.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to the high protein and fat content, which slows digestion.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar; protein and fats provide sustained energy without significant glucose spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Pair with a high-fiber vegetable to slow digestion and glucose absorption.
