How to consume Rice Idli, Sambar without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a side of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to your meal. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include a small portion of avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can also help in moderating blood sugar spikes.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your sambar. Fiber slows down digestion and helps in controlling blood sugar levels.
Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of rice idli. Instead of three, try eating one or two, and fill the rest of your plate with high-fiber vegetables.
Add Legumes
Incorporate lentils or chickpeas into your sambar. These foods are high in protein and fiber, both of which can help manage blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, make idlis using whole grains or a mix of grains like millets, which can help in keeping blood sugar levels stable.
Stay Active
Go for a short walk after eating. Physical activity helps in lowering blood sugar levels and can mitigate spikes.
Monitor Carb Intake
Keep an eye on the total carbohydrate content of your meal and try to balance it with low-carb foods.
Eat Mindfully
Take your time to eat, chew thoroughly, and enjoy your meal. Eating slowly can help with digestion and prevent overeating, which can lead to blood sugar spikes.

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