Cantaloupe (Muskmelon) (1 Cup, Diced)

Keep cantaloupe to a smaller portion, such as ½ cup, and avoid having a second serving at the same time.

Eat cantaloupe after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a small handful of almonds to slow absorption.

Add fiber alongside it, such as chia seeds mixed into plain yogurt.

Avoid combining cantaloupe with fruit juice, sweetened yogurt, granola, or other sugary foods in the same snack.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion size that works best for you.
