How to consume bananas, tangerines (mandarin oranges) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consume bananas or tangerines with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts, or a boiled egg. This combination can slow down sugar absorption.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or a small amount of peanut butter when you eat these fruits.
Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine bananas or tangerines with fiber-rich foods like oatmeal, whole grain toast, or a small salad. Fiber can help moderate the rise in blood sugar.
Hydrate Properly
Drink water before and after consuming fruits. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Instead of eating a whole banana or multiple tangerines at once, try half a banana or just one tangerine to reduce the overall sugar intake.
Choose Less Ripe Bananas
Less ripe bananas contain more resistant starch, which releases sugar more slowly compared to fully ripe bananas.
Incorporate Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after consuming these fruits to help manage blood sugar levels.
Monitor Timing
Eat these fruits earlier in the day when your metabolism is generally more active and capable of handling sugar intake better.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your bananas or tangerines. Cinnamon has properties that can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Blend with Low-Sugar Vegetables
If making a smoothie, blend bananas or tangerines with vegetables like spinach or kale, which are low in sugar and high in fiber.

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