How to consume dg - idlii (2 pieces), vada (1), one cup sambhar with chutney, 1 plate without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Consider reducing the portion size of the idli and vada. You could start with one idli and half a vada, and monitor how your glucose levels respond.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fiber to your meal by including a side salad or steamed vegetables. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, use whole grain or multi-grain alternatives to make your idli and vada. This can help in controlling the rise in blood sugar.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein in your meal like a small serving of paneer or tofu. Protein helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing spikes in glucose levels.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats, such as a small amount of nuts or seeds, into your meal. This can also help in moderating blood sugar spikes.
Limit Chutney Intake
Be mindful of the quantity of chutney, as it may contain sugars. Opt for chutneys that are lower in sugar or have added fiber.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help aid digestion and control blood sugar levels.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.
Balanced Sambar
Ensure that your sambhar is loaded with vegetables and lentils, which can provide additional fiber and protein.
Monitor and Adjust
Use a continuous glucose monitor or regular testing to see how your body responds to these changes, and adjust your strategies accordingly.
