How to consume Bread Upma without glucose spikes
Use Whole-Grain Bread
Opt for whole-grain or multi-grain bread instead of white bread to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein such as boiled eggs, paneer (cottage cheese), or tofu to balance the meal and reduce the spike.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil, or a handful of nuts and seeds to the dish.
Increase Fiber Content
Mix in vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, and tomatoes to increase the fiber content and slow down glucose absorption.
Include Legumes
Add legumes such as chickpeas or lentils to the Upma for an additional fiber and protein boost.
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the bread and fill up on the added vegetables, protein, and healthy fats instead.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before the meal to help with digestion and maintain blood sugar levels.
Use Low-Sugar Sauces
If you use sauces, choose ones that have no added sugars or are made from natural ingredients.
Avoid Sugary Beverages
Drink water, herbal tea, or other non-sugary beverages with your meal instead of sugary drinks.
Exercise After Eating
A light walk or other physical activity after meals can help to lower blood sugar levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to aid in better digestion and slower glucose absorption.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different components affect you and adjust accordingly.

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.
