How to consume bananas, tangerines (mandarin oranges) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Combine bananas and tangerines with a source of protein like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado slices, chia seeds, or a spoonful of almond butter when consuming these fruits to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Eat smaller portions of bananas and tangerines to minimize the amount of sugar entering your bloodstream at once.
Choose Ripe but Firm Fruits
Select bananas and tangerines that are ripe but still slightly firm, as they have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to fully ripened fruits.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when consuming fruits, to help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.
Combine with Fiber-rich Foods
Pair bananas and tangerines with foods high in fiber like oatmeal, quinoa, or a mixed greens salad to slow the release of sugars into your bloodstream.
Eat with a Balanced Meal
Incorporate bananas and tangerines as part of a balanced meal that includes lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to mitigate glucose spikes.
Consider Timing
Consume these fruits as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack when your insulin sensitivity may be higher, rather than late at night.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating to help your muscles utilize glucose and reduce spikes.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels and how they respond to different combinations and portions of bananas and tangerines, adjusting your intake accordingly to find what works best for you.

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.
