Reduce the serving size of couscous. Smaller portions will help minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or spinach. These add fiber and volume, helping to moderate the glucose response.

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas, to slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Use healthy fats such as olive oil or avocado in moderation. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. Acidity can help lower the blood sugar response.

Consider mixing in a small amount of whole grains like quinoa or farro with the couscous to increase fiber content and slow digestion.

Eat couscous as part of a balanced meal, not in isolation. Eating it with other macronutrients helps in balancing blood sugar levels.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating. This can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage glucose spikes.

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Keep a food diary to track your meals and identify how different foods affect your blood sugar, allowing you to make informed adjustments.
