How to consume dg - idlii (2 pieces), vada (1), one cup sambhar with chutney, 1 plate without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of idli and vada. Consider having just one idli or half a vada to minimize the glucose spike.

Incorporate Fiber

Add more fiber to your meal. You can include a small side of salad or steamed vegetables like broccoli or spinach to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Whole Grains

Substitute regular idli with idli made from whole grains like ragi or millet. These alternatives can help maintain more stable blood sugar levels.

Protein Boost

Include a source of protein in your meal. For example, consume a small serving of yogurt or a few nuts such as almonds or walnuts to aid in reducing the rise in blood sugar.

Avoid Sugary Beverages

Ensure that you are drinking water or unsweetened beverages with your meal instead of sugary drinks.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or some light physical activity after your meal to help your body use up some of the glucose from your meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, as this can help with digestion and managing blood sugar levels.

Limit Chutney

Be cautious with the amount of chutney you consume, as it can sometimes have added sugars or high-calorie ingredients.

Monitor Consistency

If possible, make the sambhar thinner by adding more vegetables and less lentils, which can help reduce the carbohydrate density of the dish.

Meal Timing

Consider having this meal during breakfast or lunch when your body may be more active, rather than dinner, to better manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.
