Riesling Wine (1 Serving 5 Fl Oz)

Avoid drinking Riesling on an empty stomach; have it with a balanced meal or snack containing protein, fat, and fiber.

Pair wine with options such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, nuts, cheese, or hummus with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, peppers, or broccoli.

Limit the serving size and drink slowly; choose a smaller pour and alternate with water.

Check your glucose before drinking and for several hours afterward, since alcohol-related drops can occur later, including overnight.

Avoid combining wine with exercise, missed meals, or prolonged fasting, which can increase the chance of a glucose drop.

If you use insulin or glucose-lowering medication, discuss alcohol-specific dose and safety guidance with your clinician; seek urgent help for severe or persistent low-glucose symptoms.
