Reduce the serving size of the barley soup to help manage the glucose spike.

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to your meal. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts, which can aid in moderating blood sugar levels.

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli into your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the soup or have a side salad dressed with vinegar. This can help in reducing blood sugar spikes.

Drink a glass of water before your meal, which may help slow digestion and absorption.

Avoid eating the soup on an empty stomach. Consider having a small, balanced snack like a handful of almonds beforehand.

Take a short walk or engage in some light physical activity after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Slow down and chew your food thoroughly. This can enhance digestion and prevent overconsumption.

Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation, as stress can affect blood sugar levels.
