How to consume macaroni or pasta salad with tuna without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of macaroni or pasta salad to help minimize the blood sugar impact. Smaller portions will contain fewer carbohydrates, leading to a lesser spike.
Add More Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and cucumbers into your salad. These will add fiber and nutrients, helping to slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Whole Grain Pasta
Use whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta. The increased fiber content can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Protein Boost
Add more protein-rich ingredients like grilled chicken or chickpeas. Protein can help slow digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil dressing, or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds. These can help reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.
Vinegar Dressing
Use a vinegar-based dressing instead of creamy ones. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar responses.
Balance with Low-Carb Meals
Pair your pasta salad with a meal that is low in carbohydrates, such as a leafy green salad, to balance the overall carb intake.
Meal Timing
Consider having the pasta salad as part of a larger meal rather than on its own. Consuming it with other foods can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your glucose levels after eating. This can help you identify which specific changes are most effective in reducing spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Good hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

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