How to consume Coffee with Milk, Fruitcake without glucose spikes
Choose Low-Carb Milk Alternatives
Opt for unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of regular milk. These alternatives have fewer carbohydrates and can help mitigate blood sugar spikes.
Add Protein and Healthy Fats
Incorporate a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a spoonful of Greek yogurt, and healthy fats like avocado or chia seeds to your coffee or alongside your fruitcake. Protein and fats can slow the absorption of sugars.
Limit Portion Size
Reduce the portion size of fruitcake you consume. Eating smaller amounts can lessen the impact on your blood sugar levels.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Pair your coffee and fruitcake with foods high in fiber, such as a small apple or a serving of berries. Fiber helps slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Drink Black Coffee
If possible, drink black coffee without milk or sugar. This reduces the carbohydrate content and helps prevent rapid spikes in blood glucose.
Consume Fruitcake with a Meal
Eating your fruitcake as part of a balanced meal that includes protein and vegetables can help moderate the rise in blood glucose levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration helps your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your coffee and fruitcake. Exercise can help lower blood glucose levels.
Choose Whole Grain Alternatives
If you have the option, opt for fruitcake made with whole grains and lower sugar content. Whole grains digest slower than refined grains, leading to a steadier rise in blood sugar.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming these items. This can help you understand the impact and make necessary adjustments to your diet and portion sizes.

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