How to consume Idli, Sambar, Vada without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of idli, sambar, and vada. Consuming smaller portions can help prevent a large spike in glucose levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. The fiber in these vegetables can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Protein
Include a source of protein such as boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or paneer. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, use whole grain or mixed grain batter for idlis to increase fiber content and slow carbohydrate absorption.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. Healthy fats can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Good hydration can support kidney function and help manage blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.
Time Your Meals
Try to eat idli, sambar, and vada earlier in the day. Your body may handle blood sugar spikes better earlier rather than later in the day.
Chew Thoroughly
Take your time eating and chew each bite thoroughly. This can help slow down the digestion process and reduce rapid glucose spikes.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different components of your meal affect your glucose levels 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.
