How to consume Date without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Eat dates along with a protein source like nuts, Greek yogurt, or a small serving of cheese to slow down the absorption of sugar.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Limit your intake of dates to a smaller portion, such as 1-2 dates per serving, to reduce the overall sugar load.
Add Healthy Fats
Combine dates with healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. This can help slow down the release of sugar into the bloodstream.
Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods
Pair dates with fiber-rich foods like vegetables, whole oats, or chia seeds. Fiber helps in moderating the release of sugar into the bloodstream.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before or while eating dates to help with absorption and moderation of blood sugar levels.
Use as a Topping
Instead of eating dates alone, use them as a topping for salads or oatmeal. This allows you to enjoy their sweetness without consuming too many at once.
Check Timing
Try eating dates as part of a balanced meal rather than as a standalone snack. The other components of the meal can help moderate the sugar spike.
Choose Less Ripe Dates
Less ripe dates tend to have a lower sugar content than fully ripe ones.
Exercise
Engage in a light walk or exercise after eating dates to help utilize the sugar for energy.
Consider Alternatives
If dates still cause significant spikes, you might want to consider other fruits or snacks that have a similar sweetness but are less likely to cause a spike.

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