Start by reducing the portion size of lentils to see if a smaller quantity helps in moderating the glucose spike.

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocados or olive oil into your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from the lentils.

Add a protein source like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your lentil dish. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mix in non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli. These can add fiber and reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.

If you are having a mixed meal, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley which may have a gentler effect on blood glucose.

Space out your consumption of lentils and avoid eating them in large quantities in consecutive meals.

Drink water throughout the day to aid digestion and help in managing blood sugar levels.

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after your meal to help your body use glucose more effectively.

Avoid overcooking lentils as their texture can influence the rate of carbohydrate absorption.

Ensure that your overall diet is balanced with a focus on low-carb and high-fiber foods to maintain steady blood sugar levels.
