How to consume Idli Sambar - Snack without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of idli and sambar to help manage the intake of carbohydrates and prevent a large spike in glucose levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Pair your meal with a high-fiber side, such as a small salad or a serving of steamed non-starchy vegetables, to slow down digestion and absorption.
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of lean protein, such as a boiled egg or a small portion of grilled chicken, to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal to enhance satiety and control blood sugar spikes.
Slow Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully to allow your body to process food more effectively, which can help in maintaining a more stable glucose level.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during the meal to aid digestion and prevent overeating.
Physical Activity
Engage in a short walk or light exercise after the meal to help your muscles use glucose more efficiently and lower blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, choose idlis made from whole grain rice or millet to benefit from additional nutrients and slower carbohydrate absorption.
Monitor Sambar Ingredients
Ensure that the sambar contains a variety of vegetables and limit the amount of high-carb starchy vegetables like potatoes.
Frequent Small Meals
Consider having smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to prevent large spikes after any particular meal.

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