Cotton Candy (1 Stick)

Avoid eating cotton candy on an empty stomach; have it only after a balanced meal containing protein, fiber, and healthy fat.

Keep the portion very small and eat it slowly rather than consuming a large serving at once.

Pair it with protein or fat, such as a small handful of almonds, plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a boiled egg.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Choose water or unsweetened tea instead of soda, juice, or other sweet drinks alongside it.

If spikes are frequent or you use glucose-lowering medication, discuss personalized snack timing and portions with your clinician.
