💉 Suggested Bolus

Consider pre-bolusing or using a dual-wave bolus to manage the delayed digestion of fats and fiber.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Greek yogurt – Provides protein and probiotics, enhancing fullness and digestive health without adding carbs.
• Avocado salad – Rich in monounsaturated fats and fiber, helping to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – High in protein, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety with minimal impact on blood glucose.
• Smoked salmon – Provides omega-3 fatty acids and protein, beneficial for cardiovascular health and glycemic control.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour muffins – Lower in carbs and higher in healthy fats, which can help maintain more stable blood glucose levels.
• Coconut flour muffins – Significantly lower in carbs and rich in fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.
• Flaxseed meal muffins – High in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting blood sugar control and heart health.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb options digest slower, preventing rapid blood sugar spikes.
• 30–60 min: Gradual increase in blood sugar, depending on individual insulin sensitivity and other meal components.
• 2–3 hr: Blood sugar begins to stabilize due to the high fiber and healthy fat content in the substitutes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Replace whole wheat flour with almond or coconut flour and use a sugar substitute like stevia.
