How to consume Couscous (Cooked) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the amount of couscous you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.
Protein Addition
Include a good source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish with your couscous meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Fiber Boost
Add high-fiber vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your couscous. Fiber helps in slowing the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or olive oil with your couscous. Fats can also help in slowing down carbohydrate metabolism.
Vinegar Dressing
Use a vinegar-based dressing on your couscous salad. The acidity in vinegar can help reduce the glucose response.
Lemon Juice
Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over your couscous. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates more efficiently.
Pre-Meal Snack
Have a small snack that includes protein and fats, such as a handful of almonds or a small piece of cheese, before eating couscous.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and slow glucose absorption.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

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.
