Do your blood sugar levels shoot up after every meal – especially when you eat rice, roti or sweets?
The good news: you can reduce these post‑meal glucose spikes with simple, practical lifestyle changes – without completely giving up your favourite foods.

• What a post‑meal (post‑prandial) glucose spike actually is
• Why repeated blood sugar spikes damage your arteries, heart, kidneys and nerves
• How Indian eating patterns (refined carbs, large dinners, late meals) worsen sugar control
• Simple evidence‑based habits you can start today to flatten your glucose curve
You will learn:
• The ideal order of eating: fibre, protein, and fats before carbs
• How much and how long you should walk after meals to help lower sugar levels
• What are other methods apart from walking that can help?
