How to consume Homemade - Idly - South Indian without glucose spikes
Pair Idly with Protein
Include a source of protein like sambar (lentil-based) or a small portion of paneer. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of coconut chutney or drizzle a bit of ghee on your idly. Healthy fats can slow digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.
Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables
Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or salad. These can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Control Portion Size
Reduce the number of idlies you consume in one sitting to limit carbohydrate intake.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, prepare idly with a mixture that includes whole grains like finger millet (ragi) or oats to increase fiber content.
Stay Active Post-Meal
Engage in a light walk or another form of gentle exercise after eating to help your muscles use the glucose more efficiently.
Drink Water with Your Meal
Consuming water with your meal can aid digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.
Mind Meal Timing
Consider having idly as part of a balanced breakfast or lunch when your body is more insulin-sensitive, rather than during dinner.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels after consuming idly to understand how your body reacts and adjust intake accordingly.

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