Limit the amount of paella you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Include a side of vegetables like leafy greens, asparagus, or broccoli. These can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado or nuts. Fats can help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Pair your paella with a protein-rich food such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Drink water before and during your meal. This can help with digestion and prevent rapid blood sugar spikes.

Engage in light physical activity like a walk after eating. This can help your body use glucose more effectively.

Take your time to eat so your body has a chance to process the food gradually.

If making paella at home, use whole-grain rice instead of white rice to lower the impact on blood sugar.

Have your meal at a time when you are less likely to be sedentary afterwards, perhaps around lunchtime.

Practice mindful eating by focusing on your meal and listening to hunger cues, which can prevent overeating.
