How to consume Banana, Idli without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt. Protein slows down the digestion of carbohydrates, which can help to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like a small serving of avocado, nuts, or seeds. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or a small salad with leafy greens. Fiber helps to slow the release of glucose into your bloodstream.
Choose Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of the banana and idli to minimize the overall carbohydrate load.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal, which can help in moderating blood sugar levels.
Add Vinegar
Incorporate a splash of vinegar (such as apple cider vinegar) to your meal. Vinegar can help improve your body's sensitivity to insulin.
Consider Whole Grain Alternatives
If possible, opt for whole grain or mixed grain idli, which have a slower digestion rate compared to traditional white rice idli.
Eat Mindfully
Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to help your body better manage the glucose release.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk before eating. Exercise can help your muscles use glucose more effectively.
Monitor Your Timing
Try to consume the banana and idli earlier in the day when your body may be more insulin-sensitive rather than late at night.

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

Ultrahuman M1 has done what meal plans and diets have failed to do; make me better without all the restrictions.
