How to consume Papaya without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats
Eating papaya with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or nuts can slow down sugar absorption in the bloodstream. Healthy fats like avocado or a small portion of seeds can also be effective.
Moderate Portion Size
Keep your papaya servings small. This helps to control the amount of sugar entering your system at once, reducing the likelihood of a glucose spike.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as lentils, chickpeas, or a small salad with leafy greens alongside your papaya to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water before and after consuming papaya can help your body process the sugars more efficiently.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle cinnamon on your papaya. Cinnamon has properties that may help in regulating blood sugar levels.
Engage in Light Physical Activity
Go for a short walk or perform some light exercises after eating papaya to help your body use up the sugar more quickly.
Eat Slowly
Taking time to eat slowly can help your body manage sugar levels better by allowing it to process food more gradually.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how papaya affects you individually and adjust your intake accordingly.
Choose Unripe Papaya
If possible, opt for less ripe papaya, which tends to have less sugar content compared to its fully ripe counterpart.
Consult a Healthcare Provider
If you're frequently experiencing glucose spikes, it may be beneficial to discuss with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

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