How to consume Carrot Cake without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the serving size of the carrot cake to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake, thus minimizing the glucose spike.
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein like Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts. Proteins help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual rise in blood glucose levels.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado or a small portion of cheese with your carrot cake. Fats can slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for a carrot cake made with whole grain flour or oats, as these are digested more slowly than refined grains.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle some cinnamon on your cake or incorporate it into the recipe. Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before consuming the cake to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Consume Fiber-Rich Sides
Enjoy your carrot cake with a side of berries or an apple. These fruits are high in fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugar.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor each bite to allow your body time to process the sugar more effectively.
Opt for Natural Sweeteners
If you're baking the carrot cake yourself, consider using natural sweeteners like dates or applesauce as alternatives to refined sugar.
Engage in Physical Activity
Take a short walk after enjoying your carrot cake. Physical activity can help lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

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