How to consume Idly without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include protein-rich foods alongside idly, such as eggs, paneer, or a small serving of chicken. Proteins can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to manage glucose spikes.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats into your meal by adding a serving of avocados, nuts, or seeds. These can help make the meal more satisfying and may also slow the absorption of sugars.
Incorporate Fiber
Include fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli in your meal. Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Smaller Portions
Consider reducing the portion size of idly and balance it with a larger portion of vegetables or salads.
Hydration
Drink a glass of water or unsweetened herbal tea before your meal to help with digestion and to give a sensation of fullness, potentially reducing the intake and impact of carbohydrates.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your body use up the glucose more effectively.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, choose whole-grain or millet-based idly variations, which can have a less pronounced impact on blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This can improve digestion and may help prevent overeating.
Monitor and Adjust
Track your blood sugar levels after meals to understand how your body responds, and adjust your diet accordingly.
Timing of Meals
Try to space out meals evenly throughout the day to avoid large fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.

Ultrahuman M1 has done what meal plans and diets have failed to do; make me better without all the restrictions.
