Pair appam with protein-rich foods like eggs, paneer (cottage cheese), or chicken curry. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add a serving of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds alongside your meal. This can aid in moderating glucose spikes.

Include fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers in your meal. Fiber helps in reducing the impact on blood sugar levels.

Pay attention to your portion sizes. Eating smaller quantities of appam can help in managing glucose spikes.

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Start your meal with a salad containing leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. This can slow down the digestion process.

If you make appam at home, consider using whole grain or millet flours as a portion of your batter to increase fiber content.

Choose non-starchy side dishes such as sautéed mushrooms or grilled vegetables to accompany your appam.

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Eat slowly and mindfully. Chewing thoroughly can aid digestion and prevent overeating.
