How to consume english okra without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes to your meal. Protein helps slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts. These can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine okra with high-fiber foods like lentils, beans, or broccoli to help slow down glucose absorption.
Opt for Whole Grains
If you’re having a starchy side, choose whole grains such as quinoa or barley which are less likely to cause spikes in glucose levels.
Include Leafy Greens
Add a serving of leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or Swiss chard to your meal. They can help stabilize blood sugar.
Drink Water
Ensure you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout your meal, as dehydration can impact blood sugar control.
Use Vinegar
A small amount of vinegar, such as in a salad dressing, can help reduce a glucose spike by improving insulin sensitivity.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the portion size of okra you consume, as larger quantities can lead to higher glucose spikes.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body process the sugar more gradually.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle some cinnamon on your meal as it has been shown to help manage glucose levels.

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