How to consume italian pasta with arrabbiata without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of pasta to help manage the carbohydrate load and lessen the spike in glucose levels.
Choose Whole Grain Pasta
Opt for whole-grain or whole-wheat pasta as they are digested more slowly, leading to a gradual rise in blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Incorporate vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers into your pasta dish. These add fiber which helps to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Include Protein Sources
Add lean proteins such as grilled chicken, turkey, or legumes like lentils and chickpeas to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Use Healthy Fats
Drizzle a little olive oil over your pasta or include nuts like pine nuts or almonds. Healthy fats can help slow down digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Cook Pasta Al Dente
Cooking pasta until it's firm helps in slowing down its digestion and absorption, which is beneficial for blood sugar control.
Start With a Salad
Begin your meal with a leafy green salad topped with seeds or nuts. This can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates from the pasta.
Hydrate Adequately
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control hunger and portion sizes.
Herb and Spice Addition
Use herbs and spices like basil, oregano, or turmeric in your pasta sauce, which can have additional health benefits without adding sugar.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor each bite. Mindful eating can help with digestion and sugar absorption, promoting better glucose control.

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