How to consume arepa without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair your arepa with protein-rich foods like eggs, cheese, or lean meats to help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado or nuts. These can also slow digestion and help balance blood sugar levels.
Include Fiber
Add a side of high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or leafy greens to your meal. Fiber can help prevent a rapid rise in blood sugar.
Smaller Portions
Eat smaller portions of the arepa to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake in one sitting.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to help your body better manage blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating to help your muscles use some of the glucose circulating in your blood.
Whole Grain Options
If possible, choose whole grain arepas or those made with alternative flours such as almond or coconut flour, which have a lower impact on blood sugar.
Eat Slowly
Take your time eating to give your body a chance to process the food more gradually, which can help in moderating blood sugar spikes.
Monitor Timing
Consuming arepas earlier in the day may help as your body is typically better at managing blood sugar levels in the morning.
Consistent Meals
Maintain a consistent eating schedule to help regulate your blood sugar levels throughout the day.

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.
