Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of medu vada, idli, and masala dosa to minimize the glucose spike. Eating smaller amounts can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Pair these foods with a variety of non-starchy vegetables. This will add fiber to your meal, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or boiled eggs alongside your meal. Protein can help regulate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or a small amount of olive oil in your meal, which can help delay the digestion process.

Stay Hydrated

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, substitute white rice-based idlis and dosas with whole grain or millet versions, which can have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Slow Eating

Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly. This can aid in better digestion and prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in moderate physical activity like walking or yoga after meals to help lower blood sugar levels.
