How to consume Carrots, Cucumber (With Peel) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein like a small serving of hummus, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese to your meal. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as a handful of nuts, a slice of avocado, or a drizzle of olive oil. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Eat Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of carrots and cucumbers to minimize the overall impact on your blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If you’re having these vegetables with a meal, choose whole grains like quinoa, barley, or oats that have a slower effect on blood sugar.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Increase fiber intake by including foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a serving of leafy greens. Fiber helps slow down carbohydrate digestion.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Chew Thoroughly
Take the time to chew your food well to aid in better digestion and slower absorption of sugars.
Avoid Sugary Dressings
Use vinegar-based dressings or a simple squeeze of lemon instead of sugary salad dressings.
Monitor Timing
Try eating carrots and cucumbers as part of a balanced meal rather than on their own, as the overall meal composition can affect blood sugar spikes.
Add Legumes
Incorporate beans or lentils into your meal. These are slower to digest and can help mitigate spikes in blood sugar levels.

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.
