More than quality, it's the size and speed of meals that determine glycemic response.
Even on protein and vegetables alone, I could bump glucose as high as 150 mg/dL without much effort.
The easiest thing you can do to decrease glucose spikes is slow down. I had to methodically finish my plate in thirds and train myself to wait five minutes between thirds, usually with the help of iced tea and slices of lemon. It also helps to drink more water to dilute digestion (I'm fantastic at this), eat smaller portions (not so good at this), and chew more.
All four strategies serve to decrease the amount of food that gets digested per minute, which will determine the size of your glucose arc.
