Hi, I’m Krishika Agicha. I like to try new foods and new ways to live. I want to find what helps me live a good, healthy life. A great tool for me has been Real-Time Glucose Monitoring.
With my glucose monitoring device, I don’t have to guess. I can see just how my body acts with food. This is true for snacks. So I will share the snacks that did not spike my glucose. Some of them made me say “wow!” I hope this helps you make good choices. It is for you if you want to know more about diabetes awareness or want healthy living solutions. Or if you just want to feel good all day.
But First: Why Monitor Snacks at All?
If you think small parts of food are all you need, let me stop you. Lifestyle management is not just about how much you eat. It is about how carbs, fats, and proteins change your blood sugar. Even “good” snacks can cause a glucose spike. Then you crash. This can change how you feel, what you want to eat, and your health for a long time. With continuous glucose monitoring in India, I can see what snacks make my sugar go up and down. I can also see what snacks keep it flat.
1. Chana Chaat (No Spike, Lots of Fiber!)

I tried a homemade chana chaat. It had black chickpeas, cucumber, tomato, lime, and some chaat masala. My glucose line was very flat.
Why it worked:
- Lots of fiber and plant protein
- Low glycemic load
- No white sugar
If you are learning how to measure glucose levels, this is a good snack to try first. It keeps your glucose flat. It also tastes good and makes you feel full.
2. Handful of Pistachios + Black Coffee
This mix is great. I had black coffee (no sugar, no milk) with 15–20 pistachios. And again, no spike!
Why it worked:
- Pistachios are like seeds. They have good fats.
- Fats slow how fast sugar gets into your blood.
- No added carbs in black coffee
This is also a glucose management formula I use a lot. It’s good for a 4 PM lift. I do not get the crash after this snack.
3. Hung Curd with Flax + Cinnamon

Hung curd is now my top choice for a low spike. I mixed it with a bit of flaxseeds and some cinnamon. Both are good for blood sugar.
Why it worked:
- Protein and fat in curd
- Flax for fiber
- Cinnamon helps with insulin sensitivity
To be real, continuous glucose tracking tips like these come from trying things and seeing what works. A glucose sensor lets you see it right now.
Snacks That Did Cause Spikes (So You Know!)
To show the other side, here are some that did make my sugar spike:
- Banana + peanut butter (I was shocked!)
- Granola bars (they say they are healthy, but have lots of sugar)
- Even some digestive biscuits
This is why nutritional education is more key than the words on the box.
Real-Time Glucose Results from My Monitor
Here is a quick look at my CGM results:
Snack | Spike (mg/dL) | Verdict |
Chana Chaat | +8 | Excellent |
Pistachios + Black Coffee | +6 | Excellent |
Hung Curd Mix | +10 | Excellent |
Banana + PB | +34 | Avoid combo |
Granola Bar | +42 | Avoid |
Biscuits | +38 | Avoid |
Device used: Freestyle Libre CGM
If you ask about the continuous glucose monitoring device price in India, you can get one for not a lot of money. They start at less than ₹3000 for a 14 days scan period. It is money you put into your glucose control solution. Trust me.
Final Thoughts: Your Body, Your Blueprint
I learned one thing: the same snack ≠ same response for all people. What works for me may not work for you. But the good thing about a glucose monitoring device is that you do not have to guess. You can see your data. You can change things and do well.If you want more snack ideas, good food plans, or to learn more about how blood glucose is monitored, you can find me here: Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook
