How to consume banana, english pumpkin seeds without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Combine the banana and pumpkin seeds with a protein source such as Greek yogurt or a small serving of cottage cheese. The protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats like a few slices of avocado or a handful of almonds. Healthy fats can help prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods
Consume the banana and pumpkin seeds alongside fiber-rich foods like a small apple or a serving of berries. Fiber can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Vegetables
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables such as a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. These vegetables can help moderate blood sugar responses.
Smaller Portions
Consider eating half a banana instead of a whole one to reduce the carbohydrate intake and potentially minimize the glucose spike.
Choose Whole Foods
Opt for whole, unprocessed foods that are naturally lower in sugars and refined carbohydrates. An example could be a small serving of quinoa or lentils.
Timing of Meals
Distribute your carbohydrate intake throughout the day rather than consuming them all at once. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help manage blood sugar levels better.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
Physical Activity
Incorporate a short walk or some light physical activity after eating. Physical activity can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your glucose levels to see how different food combinations affect you personally and adjust your diet accordingly. Everyone's body responds differently to certain foods.

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.
