Add lean proteins like grilled chicken, fish, or tofu to your meal to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Serve polenta with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. Their fiber content can help moderate the glucose spike.

Opt for whole grain or coarser varieties of polenta, which are digested more slowly.

Reduce the portion size of the polenta. A smaller serving can cause less of a glucose spike.

Add beans or lentils to your dish. Legumes have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar levels.

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal. This can help your body process glucose more effectively.

Incorporate a small amount of vinegar (such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar) in your meal or salad. Vinegar can help lower blood sugar levels.

Refrain from adding sugary toppings or sauces to your polenta. Stick to savory options.

Take your time to eat your meal. Eating slowly can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
