How to consume homemade - upma, tea with milk and sugar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of upma and tea to limit the carbohydrate load in one sitting.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein with your meal, such as boiled eggs, yogurt, or a handful of nuts, to slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

Increase Fiber

Include vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers in your upma to increase fiber content, which can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Use Whole Grains

Prepare your upma with whole grains such as quinoa or broken wheat instead of refined semolina.

Tea Modifications

Opt for unsweetened tea or use a sugar substitute. You can also try using less milk or choose almond milk as an alternative.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat, like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal to improve satiety and slow sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Timing of Meals

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to prevent large glucose spikes.

Post-meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Ingredients

Use spices like cinnamon or turmeric in your upma, as they may help improve insulin sensitivity.
