How to consume south indian/tamil - appam without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Consume appam with protein-rich foods like chicken curry, fish curry, or boiled eggs, which can slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Fiber
Include high-fiber vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or okra in your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of appam to manage the overall carbohydrate intake.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices, nuts, or a small amount of coconut oil to your meal to slow down the digestion process.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and absorption.
Eat Slowly
Take your time while eating to give your body a chance to better regulate blood sugar levels.
Acidic Foods
Add a squeeze of lemon juice or include vinegar-based salads, as the acidity can help to lower spikes in blood sugar.
Balanced Breakfast
If eating appam for breakfast, ensure it is part of a balanced meal that includes protein and fiber, such as a side of lentil soup or sambar.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, before your meal to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Monitor Timing
Avoid eating large amounts of appam late in the evening; instead, have it earlier in the day when your body is more active and can better handle glucose.

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