Guavas (1 Fruit, Without Refuse) and Tea with Milk (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Have the guava with a protein or healthy-fat side such as plain Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, or a small handful of almonds to slow glucose absorption.

Keep guava portions modest, such as one small guava or half a large guava, and avoid pairing it with other sweet foods at the same time.

Drink tea with unsweetened milk and skip sugar, honey, syrups, sweetened creamers, and biscuits.

Choose a smaller amount of milk in the tea, or use unsweetened soy milk, if milk tea tends to raise your glucose more than plain tea.

Eat the guava after or alongside a balanced meal containing vegetables, protein, and fiber rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
