How to consume Chinese starters without glucose spikes
Choose Whole Grains
Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice or fried rice to accompany your starters.
Include Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas to your meal to increase fiber intake and slow down glucose absorption.
Limit Sauces
Reduce the amount of sugary or high-sodium sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce or hoisin sauce, which can contribute to glucose spikes.
Opt for Protein
Choose protein-rich starters like steamed dumplings filled with lean meats, tofu, or shrimp to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Avoid Fried Foods
Steer clear of deep-fried starters like spring rolls or wontons; instead, go for steamed or grilled options.
Control Portion Sizes
Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating, which can lead to higher glucose levels.
Drink Water
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain better blood sugar control.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew thoroughly and eat slowly, which can help in better digestion and gradual glucose absorption.
Pair with Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or nuts, which can help moderate the glucose response.
Check Ingredients
If possible, inquire about the ingredients used in your starters to avoid added sugars and high-carb components.

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.
