Tea with Milk (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and Pastry filled with Potatoes and Peas (Fried) (1 Regular Samosa)

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating; this can help blunt the rise in blood glucose.

Before the meal, have a small serving of lentils or chickpeas with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, or leafy greens.

Choose unsweetened tea with a modest amount of milk; avoid adding sugar, honey, syrups, or sweetened creamers.

Pair the meal with a small handful of nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios to add fat, protein, and fiber.

If this meal is unavoidable, eat slowly and stop when comfortably full rather than eating quickly or going back for more.

Check your glucose response at the times advised by your clinician, and discuss repeated medium or high spikes with them.
