How to consume Cheese Sandwich, Orange Juice without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as turkey or chicken breast in your sandwich to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grain Bread

Choose whole grain or multi-grain bread instead of white bread for your cheese sandwich. These options are digested more slowly, which can help reduce spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices to your sandwich. Healthy fats can slow digestion and help moderate blood sugar responses.

Choose a Non-Starchy Vegetable

Add vegetables like spinach, lettuce, or cucumber to your sandwich to increase fiber intake and slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Tea

Replace orange juice with water or unsweetened herbal tea to eliminate the additional sugar from your meal.

Monitor Portion Size

Be mindful of the portion sizes of both the sandwich and any beverages. Smaller portions can help minimize the spike.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal, as eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Stay Physically Active

Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a short walk, to help your body use up some of the glucose for energy.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate more fiber in your meal, like a small side salad with leafy greens, which can help slow down the digestion process.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels before and after meals to better understand how different foods affect your body and make necessary adjustments.
