Tap Water (100 Ml) and Almonds (1 Serving (28g))

Retest almonds and tap water separately on different days under similar conditions; plain tap water should not usually raise glucose, so timing, stress, exercise, sleep, or sensor variation may be contributing.

Reduce the almond portion and eat them slowly; weigh a smaller serving such as 10–15 almonds, then compare your response with your usual amount.

Choose plain, dry-roasted almonds without sweetened coatings, honey, flavored seasonings, or added starches, and check the label for added sugars and total carbohydrates.

Avoid eating almonds alongside higher-carbohydrate foods or drinks; keep the test meal simple so you can identify whether almonds are the trigger.

If you want to pair almonds with food, try a small serving of plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or an egg, rather than crackers, fruit juice, or sweetened yogurt.

If repeated, clearly elevated readings occur with very small almond portions or water alone, discuss the pattern and your monitoring method with a clinician.
