💉 Suggested Bolus

If consuming, consider a dual-wave or extended bolus to manage the delayed digestion of fats and proteins along with the immediate rise from carbs.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado slices – Healthy fats in avocado help slow digestion and can prevent blood sugar spikes.
• Greek yogurt – High in protein and low in carbs, aiding in satiety and blood sugar control.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Smoked salmon – Provides a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart health and glycemic control.
• Scrambled eggs – High in protein, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels and keep you full longer.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour waffles – Lower in carbs and higher in protein, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour waffles – Provides a low-carb alternative with a boost in fiber which aids in blood sugar control.
• Flaxseed meal waffles – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting overall health and stable glucose levels.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb waffles digest slower than traditional waffles.
• 30–60 min: Gradual rise in blood sugar, depending on the ingredients and toppings used.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels begin to stabilize due to the high fiber and protein content in the substitutes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Opt for a low-carb, high-fiber alternative made from almond or coconut flour, and sweeten with a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol.
