How to consume Chinese starters without glucose spikes
Opt for Veggie-Based Dishes
Choose starters that are primarily made from non-starchy vegetables such as steamed broccoli, bok choy, or green beans.
Include Protein
Add a source of lean protein to your meal, such as tofu, shrimp, or chicken, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Avoid Fried Foods
Steer clear of deep-fried options like spring rolls or wontons, and choose steamed or stir-fried alternatives instead.
Use Vinegar-Based Sauces
Select dishes that are prepared with vinegar-based sauces rather than sweet and sour or hoisin sauces, which can contain added sugars.
Limit Rice and Noodles
If rice or noodles are part of your starter, opt for smaller portions or consider replacing them with alternatives like cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add small amounts of healthy fats, such as avocado or nuts, to your starters. These can help slow digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as staying hydrated can help in managing blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully to allow your body to properly signal when you are full, which can help prevent overeating.
Check Ingredients
If possible, inquire about the ingredients used in the dishes to avoid hidden sugars or high-carb additions.
Balanced Portions
Aim for a balanced plate with a combination of vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats to maintain more even blood sugar levels.

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