💉 Suggested Bolus

If using insulin, consider a standard bolus due to the low carb content and moderate protein and fat levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado slices – Healthy fats in avocado can enhance satiety and further stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Chopped nuts – Adding nuts provides a good source of fats and proteins, complementing the low carb profile of the meal.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Smoked salmon – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, helping to maintain blood sugar control and heart health.
• Grilled chicken strips – Lean protein source that helps maintain muscle mass and stabilizes blood sugar levels.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Greek yogurt – Higher in protein, which can help with satiety and has minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
• Ricotta cheese – Similar texture with slightly higher protein content, helping in better blood sugar management.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as cottage cheese is low in carbohydrates and high in protein.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to slow digestion of protein and fat.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stability in blood sugar levels, with no significant spikes expected.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in moderation and pair with a source of fiber or healthy fats to further slow digestion and glucose absorption.
