How to consume Idli, Sambhar without glucose spikes
Increase Fiber Intake
Pair your idli and sambhar with high-fiber vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Protein Addition
Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or boiled eggs, which can help manage blood glucose levels.
Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats to your meal, such as a small amount of avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can slow digestion and the release of glucose.
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of idli you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.
Pre-Meal Hydration
Drink a glass of water 20-30 minutes before eating. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar spikes.
Consume Fermented Foods
Add a side of fermented foods like yogurt or kefir. These contain probiotics that can improve your gut health and potentially stabilize blood sugar.
Pre-Meal Snack
Have a small snack containing fiber and protein, such as an apple with a handful of almonds, about 30 minutes before your main meal. This can moderate blood glucose responses to your main meal.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This can improve digestion and lead to a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Cinnamon Addition
Add a pinch of cinnamon to your sambhar. Certain spices like cinnamon have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity.
Balanced Meal Composition
Ensure your meal is balanced with adequate amounts of protein, healthy fats, and fiber in addition to carbohydrates. This holistic approach can help manage your blood glucose levels effectively.

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