Here is what (AI) suggested:
"" Foods that have a low glycaemic index (GI) are less likely to cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels and may be a good choice for people looking to avoid glucose spikes. Some examples of low GI foods include:

1. Non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and green beans
2. Legumes like chickpeas, lentils, and kidney beans
3. Nuts and seeds like almonds, walnuts, and chia seeds
4. Whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice
5. Berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries

It's important to note that the glycaemic index of a food can vary depending on several factors, such as how it's prepared, what it's eaten with, and the individual's metabolism. Therefore, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine the best diet for your specific needs.""

Don't ask AI for answers. Chances are that it's wrong, which it is in this case.

Carbs spike BG so reducing carbs reduces the spikes.

"Whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice" - Wrong! Full of carbs! And so are pulses, if somewhat less.

Foods that have very few carbs are meat, eggs, cheeses, tofu, so please enjoy a good portion of bacon and eggs instead of oats, and have your burger with all the sides except for the bun. (Beware of the sauces though, anything mayonnaise based is almost certainly lower carb than ketchup or curry sauce.)
