How to consume Black Tea, Upma without glucose spikes

Include Protein and Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats to your meal. Consider adding nuts, seeds, or a small serving of yogurt to help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Keep your serving size of Upma moderate. Smaller portions can lead to smaller spikes in glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate more fiber into your meal by adding vegetables such as spinach, peas, or diced carrots to your Upma. This can help slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your Upma or in your black tea. Cinnamon is known to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and maintain stable glucose levels.

Combine with Low-Carb Foods

Pair your meal with low-carb, non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or leafy greens. This can add bulk without adding many carbohydrates.

Watch Tea Additives

If you add sugar or sweeteners to your black tea, consider reducing the amount or substituting with a natural, low-carb sweetener.

Frequent, Smaller Meals

Instead of having larger meals, try eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day to avoid large glucose spikes.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a short walk, to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming black tea or Upma at different times of the day to see if timing affects your glucose response, as metabolism can vary throughout the day.
