Start by reducing the portion size of the carbonara. Smaller portions will generally lead to a smaller glucose response.

Include a side of leafy green vegetables or a salad with your meal. Foods like spinach, kale, and broccoli are excellent choices.

If possible, substitute regular pasta with whole-grain or legume-based pasta. These alternatives can help moderate the glucose response.

Add a lean protein source to your meal, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate healthy fats into your meal, such as avocado or a small serving of nuts. This can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and the absorption of nutrients, which can moderate glucose spikes.

Engage in light physical activity, like a brisk walk, after eating. This helps your muscles use up glucose more efficiently.

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process the meal, reducing the likelihood of a rapid glucose spike.

Consider using zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash in place of traditional pasta for a lower-carb option.

Avoid consuming large amounts of carbohydrates late at night, as glucose tolerance can be lower during these hours.
