Beer (1 Can Or Bottle (12 Fl Oz)) and 14 Inches Pepperoni Pizza (1 Slice)

Eat a smaller pizza portion, such as 1–2 slices, and save the rest for another meal.

Replace some or all of the beer with water or sparkling water; alcohol plus pizza can make glucose management less predictable.

Start with a non-starchy salad with olive oil and vinegar before the pizza to slow the meal’s overall absorption.

Avoid eating the pizza and beer on an empty stomach; have a protein-focused snack such as plain Greek yogurt beforehand if needed.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, unless your clinician has advised otherwise.

Avoid adding sugary dips, sweet sauces, or dessert to the meal.
