Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower in your meal to increase fiber content, which helps in reducing glucose spikes.

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can help with the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Take your time to chew and savor your food, which can help regulate the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, before your meal to help improve your body's insulin sensitivity.
