How to consume english medu vada, upma without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the medu vada and upma you consume. Smaller portions will lead to a smaller glucose spike.
Protein Addition
Include a source of protein in your meal, such as a boiled egg, cottage cheese, or lentils. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like a small amount of avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Fats can also slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Vegetable Inclusion
Add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or bell peppers. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help bulk up your meal without causing a large glucose spike.
Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate foods high in fiber like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a side of mixed greens. Fiber helps to slow down the digestion process.
Hydration
Drink water before and during your meal to help with the digestion process and reduce the impact of the glucose spike.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Consider taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before your meal. Some studies suggest it can help manage blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, within 30 minutes after eating. Physical activity helps to use up the glucose in your bloodstream.
Meal Timing
Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than having large meals. This can help maintain more stable blood sugar levels.
Monitor Carbohydrate Quality
When preparing upma, use whole grains like quinoa or oats instead of semolina. Whole grains have a slower rate of absorption.

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