How to consume americano coffee, medjool dates without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a small handful of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, to your meal. Protein helps slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate a source of healthy fat, such as a tablespoon of chia seeds or a slice of avocado, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If you need additional carbohydrates, choose options like quinoa or barley that have a slower effect on blood glucose.
Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber to your meal by including a serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or bell peppers.
Smaller Portions of Dates
Consume fewer dates to lower the overall sugar intake in one sitting.
Drink Water
Hydrate well by drinking a glass of water before and after your americano coffee to help dilute the sugar in your bloodstream.
Timing Matters
Try to eat your dates during or after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to prevent rapid sugar spikes.
Exercise
Engage in a short walk or light exercise after your meal, which can help your muscles use some of the sugar and maintain balanced glucose levels.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle some cinnamon into your americano coffee or over the dates, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity.
Monitor Portions
Be mindful of the quantity of dates you are consuming, even if they are a natural source of sugar, moderation is key.

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