Apple (1 Medium (2 3/4 Inches Dia) (Approx 3 Per Lb)) and Guava (1 Guava, Common)

Reduce the portion: try half an apple or half a guava at one time, and avoid having both together until you see a smaller rise.

Eat the fruit after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or cottage cheese.

Pair a small fruit serving with fats or fiber, such as a small handful of almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or natural peanut butter without added sugar.

Choose whole, firm fruit and avoid juice, smoothies, dried fruit, or fruit purée, which are easier to consume quickly.

Slow the meal down: eat the protein and vegetables first, then the fruit, and take a 10–20 minute easy walk afterward if appropriate for you.

If spikes persist, swap one serving for lower-sugar options such as berries, cherries, grapefruit, pear, or orange, while keeping portions modest.
