How to consume Pizza without glucose spikes
Opt for Whole Grain Crust
Choose a pizza with a whole grain crust instead of traditional white flour crust. Whole grains are digested more slowly, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Vegetables
Top your pizza with plenty of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and onions. These add fiber and nutrients without causing rapid sugar spikes.
Limit Cheese and Processed Meats
Use a moderate amount of cheese and avoid processed meats like pepperoni and sausage. Instead, try grilled chicken or turkey for a leaner protein option.
Control Portion Size
Enjoy a smaller slice of pizza and pair it with a side salad to increase fiber intake and reduce the impact of the pizza on your blood sugar.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add healthy fat sources like avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil on top of your pizza. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and improve blood sugar control.
Try a Cauliflower Crust
Consider using a cauliflower-based crust as an alternative to traditional pizza crusts. This option is lower in carbohydrates and can help prevent spikes in blood sugar.
Balance with Protein
Pair your pizza meal with a source of protein like grilled chicken, fish, or legumes. Protein helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can support overall digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Slow down and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help with digestion and give your body time to register fullness, preventing overeating.
Monitor Timing
If possible, enjoy pizza as a part of a meal that includes other low-carbohydrate foods and be mindful of not consuming it too late in the evening. Eating earlier in the day can give your body more time to process the meal.

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