Sattu drink (1 piece)

Make the sattu drink with water or unsweetened plain yogurt, and avoid adding sugar, jaggery, honey, sweetened milk, or fruit juice.

Use a smaller serving of sattu and dilute it with more water; sip it slowly rather than drinking it quickly.

Add a protein or fat source such as plain yogurt, peanuts, almonds, or chia seeds to slow absorption.

Have the drink alongside a fiber-rich meal component such as cucumber, tomato, leafy vegetables, or chickpeas rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after drinking it, if this is safe for you.

Check your response by testing glucose before and about 1–2 hours after the drink; if spikes persist, discuss portion size and medication timing with your clinician.
