How to consume homemade style spaghetti sauce with beef or meat without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of your spaghetti and sauce. Eating smaller amounts can help manage glucose spikes.
Choose Whole Grain Pasta
Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of refined pasta. These options are digested more slowly and can help to moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber
Incorporate vegetables with a low impact on blood sugar, such as spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers, into your sauce. This adds fiber and helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado to your meal. Fats can slow digestion and the absorption of sugars.
Include Protein
If your sauce contains beef or meat, ensure it's lean and consider adding other protein sources like lentils or beans, which can help stabilize blood sugar.
Cook Pasta Al Dente
Cooking pasta just until it is firm can lower its impact on blood sugar compared to when it is overcooked.
Monitor Sauce Ingredients
Make your sauce from scratch to control sugar content. Avoid adding sugar and watch out for store-bought sauces with added sugars.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Include a Side Salad
Pair your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. These can help add volume and nutrients while keeping the impact on blood sugar minimal.
Eat Slowly
Take time to eat your meal slowly, which can aid in digestion and help you feel full sooner, potentially reducing overall intake.

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