How to consume Bananas, Orange without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consuming bananas or oranges with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts can help slow the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or a small amount of nut butter when eating these fruits. Fats can aid in reducing the spike in glucose levels.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Pairing these fruits with high-fiber foods such as oats, chia seeds, or flaxseeds can also help in controlling blood sugar levels.
Eat Smaller Portions
Instead of consuming a whole banana or orange, try having half. Smaller portions can help manage your blood sugar better.
Choose Whole Fruits
Opt for whole fruits instead of fruit juices or processed fruit snacks. Whole fruits contain fiber that helps slow down sugar absorption.
Consume with Meals
Eating bananas or oranges as part of a balanced meal that includes protein, fats, and fiber can mitigate the glucose spike.
Opt for Less Ripe
Less ripe bananas have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to fully ripe ones.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water before or after consuming these fruits can help with digestion and sugar absorption.
Include Leafy Greens
Pairing your fruit with leafy greens like spinach or kale can help slow the absorption of sugars.
Add Vinegar
Including a small amount of vinegar in your meal, such as in a salad dressing, can help control 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.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
