How to consume Alcohol without glucose spikes

Choose Low-Sugar Alcohol

Opt for dry wines, light beers, or spirits mixed with soda water or diet mixers to minimize sugar intake.

Moderate Your Portions

Limit alcohol consumption to a single serving, such as a 5-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce light beer, or 1.5 ounces of spirits, to manage glucose response.

Eat Before You Drink

Have a balanced meal or snack that includes protein and healthy fats, such as grilled chicken with avocado or a handful of nuts, before consuming alcohol. This can help slow down the absorption of alcohol and minimize spikes.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your drink with foods high in fiber, like a small salad with leafy greens or a bowl of lentil soup, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water alongside alcohol to stay hydrated and reduce the likelihood of consuming too much alcohol, which can exacerbate glucose spikes.

Choose Snacks Wisely

If you snack while drinking, opt for whole-grain crackers with hummus or apple slices with almond butter to keep your blood sugar stable.

Monitor Your Response

Pay attention to how different types and amounts of alcohol affect your glucose levels to better understand your personal tolerance and adjust your choices accordingly.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, as this can improve your insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels more effectively when you choose to drink.
