How to consume Homemade Idli - South Indian Rice Cake - Idli without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of protein like boiled eggs, paneer, or a small serving of lentil-based dishes such as sambar to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Serve idli with fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or a mixed vegetable curry to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado or a spoon of coconut oil in your meal to help reduce the glucose spike.
Consider Portion Control
Limit the number of idlis you consume in one sitting to avoid a large influx of carbohydrates.
Use Whole Grains
Opt for idli made with whole grains or brown rice to increase the fiber content, providing a slower release of glucose.
Eat Balanced Meals
Ensure your meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for better blood sugar control.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help improve insulin sensitivity and aid in glucose management.
Timing of Meals
Try to avoid consuming idli on an empty stomach. Having a small, balanced snack before can help moderate the subsequent glucose spike.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain optimal metabolic processes and hydration levels.
Monitor Reactions
Pay attention to how your body reacts to idli and adjust your meal components accordingly to find what works best for you.

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