How to consume americano coffee, date without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair your Americano coffee and date with a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a hard-boiled egg. This can help moderate your blood sugar response.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a small serving of Greek yogurt with your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of sugars.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds to your diet. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.
Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water before and after consuming your Americano and date. Staying hydrated can assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of the date or consider splitting it into two smaller servings; consume them at different times to lessen the impact on blood sugar.
Include Non-Starchy Vegetables
Add a small side salad with leafy greens like spinach or kale. These vegetables contain fiber and other nutrients that can help regulate blood sugar.
Choose Whole Foods
If possible, opt for whole dates rather than processed date products, which may contain added sugars.
Exercise Moderately
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your Americano and date. Physical activity can help your muscles use up the glucose in your blood more effectively.
Consider Cinnamon
Add a pinch of cinnamon to your Americano. Some studies suggest that cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of how your blood sugar responds to different food combinations and adjust your diet accordingly. This can help you determine what works best for your body.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
