How to consume Gin And Tonic without glucose spikes

Choose a Low-Sugar Tonic

Opt for a tonic water that has reduced sugar content or a diet version to decrease the overall sugar intake.

Portion Control

Limit the size of your gin and tonic to reduce the amount of sugar consumed from both the tonic and the alcohol.

Add Fiber-Rich Snacks

Pair your drink with a snack that is high in fiber, such as almonds or whole grain crackers, to slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Include Protein

Balance your drink with a healthy protein source like a small portion of cheese or a boiled egg, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming your gin and tonic to help dilute sugar levels in your bloodstream and support metabolism.

Consider Timing

Enjoy your gin and tonic with a meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize the impact on your blood sugar.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after drinking to help your muscles use up some of the sugar.

Monitor Your Intake

Keep track of how often and how much you drink to ensure you maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Experiment with Substitutes

Try using infused water or flavored sparkling water as a mixer instead of tonic to cut down on sugar.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

If you frequently experience glucose spikes, seek advice from a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
