How to consume Poha, Tea Unsweetened without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of protein like boiled eggs, paneer, or a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Increase Fiber
Enhance the fiber content of your Poha by adding vegetables like spinach, peas, carrots, or bell peppers. Fiber slows down the absorption of glucose.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, prepare Poha using whole grain poha (flattened rice) instead of the polished variety. Whole grains have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.
Pair with Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices, a drizzle of olive oil, or a few seeds such as chia or flax seeds. Healthy fats can help slow down the digestion process.
Portion Control
Be mindful of your portion sizes. Eating smaller amounts can help prevent large spikes in glucose levels.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Physical activity can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Eat Slowly
Take your time while eating and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body digest food more gradually, leading to more stable blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water throughout the day. Proper hydration helps in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Monitor Carbohydrates
Be aware of the total carbohydrate content in your meal and try to balance it with protein and fiber to avoid spikes.
Herbal Add-ins
Consider adding herbs like cinnamon or fenugreek to your Poha. These have properties that may help in regulating blood sugar levels.
Timing Matters
Try to eat your meals at regular intervals. Skipping meals or having irregular eating patterns can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
Opt for Unsweetened Beverages
As you already have unsweetened tea, continue to avoid adding any sweeteners. Unsweetened beverages have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.

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