How to consume Carrots, Cucumber (With Peel) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consume carrots and cucumbers with a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, turkey slices, or tofu. Protein helps slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds (e.g., chia seeds, flaxseeds) into your meal. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Include Fiber
Add a high-fiber food to your meal, such as beans or lentils. Fiber slows down the digestion process, which can help prevent a rapid glucose spike.
Eat Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of carrots and cucumbers you consume at one time. Smaller portions can result in a smaller rise in blood glucose.
Mix with Low-carb Vegetables
Combine carrots and cucumbers with other low-carb veggies like spinach, kale, or bell peppers, which can help dilute the carbohydrate content and reduce the impact on blood sugar.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating. Exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, helping your body manage glucose more effectively.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Choose Vinegar-Based Dressings
If you are making a salad with carrots and cucumbers, use vinegar-based dressings rather than creamy dressings. Vinegar can help improve blood sugar control.
Monitor Timing
Avoid eating carrots and cucumbers on an empty stomach. Try to include them as part of a balanced meal to moderate their impact on your blood glucose levels.
Stress Management
Practice stress-reduction techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. Stress can affect your blood sugar levels, so managing it can help your body handle glucose better.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
