Butter or Sugar Cookie (1 Small (2 Inches Dia)(Include Pepperidge Farm Sugar, Bordeaux, Chessman, And Pirouette)) and Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Have a smaller portion of the cookie and avoid eating it on an empty stomach; butter itself is unlikely to be the main source of the rise.

Replace sugar in tea with a non-caloric sweetener, cinnamon, or vanilla, and use unsweetened milk or a smaller amount of milk.

Pair the cookie with a protein- and fiber-rich option such as plain Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Choose a lower-sugar treat instead, such as a small serving of berries with plain Greek yogurt, or a square of dark chocolate with nuts.

Eat slowly and take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the snack or tea if this is safe for you.

If spikes are frequent or you use glucose-lowering medication, review the pattern with your clinician or dietitian.
