How to consume english medu vada, sambar without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of medu vada to limit the intake of carbohydrates, which can help in preventing a significant glucose spike.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add a side of leafy green vegetables or a small salad to your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and manage blood sugar levels effectively.
Incorporate Protein
Include a source of protein, like a serving of paneer or a boiled egg, alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Pulses
When making sambar, consider using whole pulses or lentils such as moong dal, which have a slower absorption rate compared to refined options.
Pre-Meal Hydration
Drink a glass of water 10-15 minutes before your meal to help with digestion and slow down sugar absorption.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after meals to help your muscles use glucose and reduce spikes in blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice aids in better digestion and prevents overeating, which can contribute to glucose spikes.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small portion of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado or a sprinkle of nuts on your salad, to help slow carbohydrate absorption.
Experiment with Ingredients
Consider substituting some of the white rice in the sambar with quinoa or barley to add more complex carbohydrates.
Regular Monitoring
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body responds and adjust your habits accordingly.

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