How to consume cucumber (with peel), upma without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair your meal with a source of protein, such as a boiled egg, grilled chicken, or tofu. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. These can help moderate the glucose response.
Eat Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate more fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli into your meal. Fiber helps to slow the digestion process.
Smaller Portion Sizes
Reduce the portion size of upma and cucumber, and increase the portion of non-starchy vegetables or proteins.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before and during meals. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Acidity
Use vinegar or lemon juice in your meal. The acidity can help slow the rate at which your stomach empties, reducing the glucose spike.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after your meal. Physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew your food thoroughly and eat at a slower pace. This can help with better digestion and glucose control.
Whole Grains
If making upma, use grains like quinoa or barley instead of refined ones. They have a slower release of glucose.
Avoid Sugary Beverages
Don't pair your meal with sugary drinks. Opt for water, unsweetened tea, or other non-caloric beverages instead.

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.
