Banana (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long)) and English Pumpkin Seeds (1 Tbsp)

Eat a smaller banana portion (for example, half a small banana) and choose a firmer, less-ripe banana rather than a very ripe one.

Pair the banana and pumpkin seeds with protein, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or cottage cheese, instead of eating the banana alone.

Add a high-fiber food with a slower glucose effect, such as berries, an apple, chia seeds, or non-starchy vegetables.

Avoid having the banana when fasting; include it as part of a balanced meal containing protein, fat, and fiber.

Track the amount and timing of banana and pumpkin seeds alongside your glucose readings to identify the portion that works best for you.

If you have symptoms of low glucose, recurrent drops, confusion, fainting, or readings that stay low, discuss this promptly with a clinician; treat urgent symptomatic lows according to your care plan.
