How to consume Homemade - Idly - South Indian without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Eat idly with a side of protein such as a serving of low-fat yogurt, eggs, or cottage cheese to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and tomatoes to your dish. This helps in reducing the glucose spike.
Use Whole Grains
When making idly, consider using a mix of whole grains or legumes like barley and lentils instead of just white rice to lower the impact on glucose levels.
Avoid Sugary Sides
Skip high-sugar condiments and side dishes. Instead, pair idly with sambar (made with lots of vegetables) or coconut chutney without added sugar.
Portion Control
Limit your portion size to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates in one sitting. Smaller portions can help in managing glucose levels better.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger, leading to overeating.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats, like a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts, which can help slow the digestion of carbohydrates.
Exercise Post-Meal
Go for a 10-15 minute walk after eating. Physical activity can help lower glucose levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew and eat slowly, which helps in better digestion and can prevent a rapid rise in glucose levels.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep a record of your glucose levels after eating idly and adjust your recipes or meal components accordingly to find what works best for you.

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