How to consume Soft Pretzels without glucose spikes
Choose Whole-Grain Pretzels
Opt for whole-grain or whole-wheat pretzels instead of refined flour pretzels. The additional fiber can help slow down sugar absorption.
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as cheese, Greek yogurt, or hummus to your pretzels. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, or avocado when eating pretzels to help reduce the spike in blood sugar.
Eat Smaller Portions
Reduce the amount of pretzels you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can lead to a more moderate increase in blood glucose.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your snack. Hydration can assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Include Non-Starchy Vegetables
Pair pretzels with non-starchy vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers. These vegetables can add fiber and nutrients without causing significant blood sugar spikes.
Choose Pretzels with Low Sugar
Select pretzels that have minimal or no added sugars to decrease the overall carbohydrate load.
Spread Out Carbohydrate Intake
Instead of eating pretzels all at once, spread out your intake over time to give your body a chance to process the carbohydrates more gradually.
Engage in Light Exercise
Consider taking a short walk or engaging in light physical activity after eating pretzels. Exercise can help lower post-meal glucose levels.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood glucose levels before and after eating pretzels to understand how they affect you personally, and adjust your intake accordingly.

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