Whiskey (1 Fl Oz (No Ice)) and Oil Roasted Cashew Nuts (100 G)

Reduce the cashew portion; measure a small serving rather than eating from the bag, since oil-roasting adds calorie density and cashews can raise glucose in larger amounts.

Choose dry-roasted or raw cashews with no added oil, sugar, honey, or flavored coating; pair a small portion with protein such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or cheese.

Avoid drinking whiskey on an empty stomach or alongside a large cashew portion. If you drink, keep the amount modest, drink water, and have it with a balanced meal.

Build the meal around non-starchy vegetables and protein—for example, chicken or tofu with leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, or a salad—and use cashews only as a garnish.

Skip mixers, liqueurs, sweetened chasers, and sugary snacks with whiskey; these can contribute more to the glucose rise than straight whiskey.

Use your glucose response to test one change at a time: first reduce cashews, then try alcohol-free days, and compare portions and timing. Discuss recurrent or unexpected spikes with your clinician, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
