How to consume english medu vada, sambar without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a side of Greek yogurt or a boiled egg to your meal. Protein helps slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Fiber
Include a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale. The fiber content in these vegetables can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Hydrate Wisely
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Moderate Portions
Reduce the quantity of medu vada and increase the portion of sambar, which is higher in fiber and protein due to the lentils and vegetables.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small serving of nuts like almonds or walnuts, or add a spoonful of chia seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help reduce the speed of glucose absorption.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body manage blood sugar spikes more efficiently.
Pre-Meal Snack
Have a small snack like an apple or a handful of berries about 30 minutes before your main meal. This can help slow the absorption of glucose from your meal.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.
Whole Grains
If you are making the medu vada at home, consider using whole grain flour or adding some oats to the batter to increase the fiber content.
Monitor Spices
Use spices like cinnamon and fenugreek seeds in your sambar. These spices have properties that can help regulate blood sugar levels.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
