Chenin Blanc Wine (1 Serving 5 Fl Oz)

Choose a dry Chenin Blanc rather than off-dry, late-harvest, or dessert-style versions; check the label for lower residual sugar.

Keep the serving to about 150 mL (5 oz) and sip it slowly rather than drinking it quickly.

Avoid pairing the wine with sugary mixers, fruit juice, sweet sauces, desserts, or refined snack foods.

Have it with a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fats—for example, grilled fish with salad and olive oil—rather than drinking on an empty stomach.

Drink water alongside the wine and avoid having multiple servings close together.

Check your glucose response over several occasions, since alcohol can cause a later drop as well as an earlier rise; discuss recurring spikes with your clinician, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
