How to consume Americano Coffee, Chocolate Croissant without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consider having a boiled egg or a small serving of Greek yogurt alongside your Americano and chocolate croissant. Protein can help to slow down the absorption of sugar.
Add Fiber
Incorporate a small serving of berries or an apple with your meal. The fiber in these fruits can help to moderate blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Try reducing the size of the chocolate croissant you eat. A smaller portion will result in a smaller glucose spike.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a handful of almonds or a small piece of cheese to your meal. Healthy fats can slow carbohydrate absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before or with your meal. Staying hydrated can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Exercise
Take a brisk 10-15 minute walk after your meal to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, substitute the chocolate croissant with a whole grain option like a whole grain toast with a small amount of nut butter.
Use Cinnamon
Adding a dash of cinnamon to your Americano may help to improve blood sugar control.
Eat Slowly
Take your time eating and savor your food. Eating slowly can help your body process the carbohydrates more effectively.
Monitor Timing
If you typically have your Americano and croissant early in the day, consider having it later or spacing out the components of your meal to avoid a large glucose spike all at once.

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