Rose Wine (1 Wine Glass (3.5 Fl Oz))

Choose a smaller pour and sip slowly; avoid refills, since total alcohol can raise glucose later even when the initial response is modest.

Prefer a dry rosé with lower residual sugar, and check the label or producer information for carbohydrate and sugar content when available.

Do not drink on an empty stomach; have it with a balanced meal containing protein, fiber, and fat.

Pair wine with lower-carbohydrate foods such as olives, cheese, plain Greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, or non-starchy vegetables.

Avoid combining rosé with sweet mixers, juice, desserts, bread baskets, or other refined carbohydrates, which can amplify the rise.

Use your glucose readings to compare serving sizes, wine styles, and whether you drank with food; discuss repeated or significant spikes with your clinician, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
