Opt for whole grain or multi-grain bagels instead of refined flour bagels to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate a source of protein such as eggs, turkey, or smoked salmon. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Top your bagel with healthy fats like avocado or a thin layer of natural almond or peanut butter to help moderate glucose spikes.

Add fiber-rich toppings like spinach, tomatoes, or cucumbers. Fiber can help slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Consider eating only half a bagel instead of the whole, or pair it with a salad or vegetable-based side dish to reduce carbohydrate intake.

Use low-fat or reduced-fat cream cheese to lessen the overall fat and calorie content.

Pair your bagel with a balanced meal that includes a variety of nutrients to help manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day as staying hydrated can assist in managing blood sugar levels.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help with glucose metabolism.

Be mindful of the portion sizes of both the bagel and cream cheese to avoid excessive carbohydrate and calorie intake.
