How to consume Ice Cream Cone without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of ice cream you consume to a smaller serving size. Enjoying a smaller portion can help moderate the glucose spike.

Choose a Lower Sugar Option

Opt for ice cream varieties that are labeled "low sugar" or "no sugar added." These options typically have less impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Pair the ice cream with a source of fiber, such as a small handful of nuts or seeds. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Include Protein

Enjoy the ice cream with a small serving of protein, like a few slices of cheese or a hard-boiled egg. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Select a Whole Grain Cone

If you have an ice cream cone, choose one made from whole grains, which can have a less significant impact on blood sugar than refined grains.

Have a Balanced Meal

Eat the ice cream as part of a meal that includes other components, such as vegetables and lean proteins, to balance the overall effect on your blood sugar.

Stay Active

After eating the ice cream, go for a short walk or do some light physical activity. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Hydrate

Drink a glass of water before or with your ice cream. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat the ice cream slowly and savor each bite. This can prevent overconsumption and help you recognize when you’re satisfied.

Timing

Enjoy the ice cream as a dessert after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to mitigate quick sugar absorption.
