How to consume homemade style spaghetti sauce with beef or meat without glucose spikes
Opt for Whole Grain Pasta
Substitute regular pasta with whole grain or whole wheat pasta to help moderate blood sugar levels due to its higher fiber content.
Incorporate More Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to your sauce to increase fiber and nutrient content, which can help moderate glucose spikes.
Use Leaner Cuts of Meat
Choose lean beef or even turkey instead of higher-fat meats to reduce overall fat content, which can influence insulin sensitivity.
Limit Added Sugars
If you add sugar to your sauce, reduce the amount or eliminate it altogether. You can enhance flavor with herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme instead.
Portion Control
Pay attention to portion sizes, both for the pasta and the sauce. Eating smaller portions can help prevent large glucose spikes.
Include a Protein Source
Add a side of grilled chicken or fish, or incorporate beans into the sauce to further balance the meal with protein.
Pair with a Salad
Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes, dressed with olive oil and vinegar to help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Cook Pasta Al Dente
Cook your pasta to be firm to the bite, as slightly undercooked pasta has a lower impact on blood sugar than overcooked pasta.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to signal fullness and better manage blood glucose levels.

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