How to consume Apple, Orange without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts) or a serving of Greek yogurt, when consuming apples and oranges. This helps slow down the absorption of sugar.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a small amount of chia seeds alongside your fruit. The fats can help moderate the body's sugar response.
Choose Whole Fruits Over Juice
Stick to whole apples and oranges rather than their juice forms. The fiber in the whole fruit aids in slowing down sugar absorption.
Eat Smaller Portions
Reduce the serving size of apples and oranges. Half an apple or a smaller orange can still provide flavor and nutrition with less impact on blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber
Add high-fiber foods such as a small serving of oatmeal or a few slices of cucumber when eating your fruit. Fiber helps in moderating blood sugar spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after eating your fruit. Proper hydration can help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
Opt for Mixed Snacks
Combine your apple or orange with low-fat cheese or a small serving of hummus to balance carbs with fats and proteins.
Spread Out Consumption
Instead of consuming the entire fruit at once, spread it out over a period of time. Eating smaller portions more slowly can help manage the body's glucose response.
Meal Timing
Try to eat apples and oranges in the context of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach. This can help reduce the spike in glucose levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as walking. This can help your muscles use up some of the glucose from the fruit, reducing the spike.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of how your body responds to different fruits and combinations, and adjust portions and pairings as needed. Personalizing your approach can be highly effective.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
