💉 Suggested Bolus

If insulin is administered, consider a smaller bolus due to the low glycemic load and slow digestion rate.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Stir-fried tofu – High in protein and can be cooked with non-starchy vegetables for a filling meal that minimizes blood sugar spikes.
• Zucchini noodles – Serve as a low-carb alternative to pasta, complementing the miso paste for a flavorful, diabetic-friendly dish.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and serves as a hearty base for miso-based sauces, supporting overall health and blood sugar control.
• Chicken stir-fry – Lean protein that helps stabilize blood sugar levels, especially when paired with low-carb vegetables and a miso glaze.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Tamari sauce – Lower in carbohydrates and provides a similar umami flavor without added sugars.
• Coconut aminos – Offers a sweeter taste with a lower glycemic index, suitable for adding depth to dishes without significant carb addition.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as miso paste is low in carbohydrates.
• 30–60 min: Slight increase may occur depending on overall meal composition but generally remains stable due to low carb content.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain relatively stable if consumed as part of a balanced, low-carb meal.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Use in small quantities and combine with high-fiber, low-carb foods.
