Honey water (1 piece)

Use less honey and more water, or gradually reduce the honey amount over several days.

Avoid drinking honey water on an empty stomach; have it after or alongside a balanced meal.

Pair it with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small handful of nuts, to slow sugar absorption.

Add fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, berries, or an apple with the drink or meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking it, if safe for you, to help muscles use circulating glucose.

If spikes remain frequent, consider replacing honey water with unsweetened water, herbal tea, or water flavored with lemon or cucumber, and discuss patterns with a healthcare professional.
