The 2 Worst Alcoholic Drinks for Spiked Blood Sugar 

00:00:05.878 --> 00:00:07.358 
1. Sweet wine 

00:00:07.358 --> 00:00:11.426 
According to Itit Nozat, alcoholic
beverages are high in calories, and are 

00:00:11.426 --> 00:00:14.138 
often also high in
sugar, including sweet wines. 

00:00:14.638 --> 00:00:18.358 
On average, a glass of sweet wine
contains 8 grams of sugar per 100ml. 

00:00:18.958 --> 00:00:22.150 
With its high sugar content, it is not
good for your blood sugar levels, if 

00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:24.278 
consumed in large amounts, it can cause blood sugar spikes. 

00:00:24.498 --> 00:00:28.698 
You should use dry wines such as dry red
wine and dry white wine. 

00:00:28.698 --> 00:00:32.178 
The average sugar content of both of
these wines is less than that of sweet wines. 

00:00:33.878 --> 00:00:38.938 
Most cocktails are mixed with different
syrups to add sweetness and flavor. 

00:00:39.858 --> 00:00:44.313 
When you enjoy a cocktail, you have no
control over how much syrup is added to 

00:00:44.313 --> 00:00:46.818 
your drink, which can affect your blood sugar levels. 

00:00:47.318 --> 00:00:51.743 
To ensure your blood sugar doesn't
spike, choose a cocktail without syrup 

00:00:51.743 --> 00:00:53.218 
or use natural sweeteners.
