How to consume english vada, sambar without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the vada to limit the intake of carbohydrates and fats that can cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
Protein Addition
Include a source of protein such as a small serving of yogurt or a boiled egg with your meal. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add more fiber-rich vegetables to your meal. Consider having a side salad with leafy greens, cucumber, and tomatoes, or including more vegetables in your sambar.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as a small serving of nuts (almonds, walnuts) or seeds (flaxseeds, chia seeds) which can help to moderate blood sugar levels.
Low-Carb Alternatives
Substitute part of the vada with lower-carb alternatives. For example, have a smaller portion of the vada and fill up with vegetables or a small serving of a legume-based dish like chickpeas or lentils.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and manage blood sugar levels.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Consider having a small amount of diluted apple cider vinegar before your meal. It has been suggested to help with blood sugar control.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a short walk, to help your body use up the glucose from your meal.
Balanced Breakfast
Ensure your previous meal, especially breakfast, is balanced with protein, healthy fats, and fiber to stabilize your blood sugar throughout the day.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how different foods affect you specifically and adjust your diet accordingly.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
