Start by reducing the portion size of the buttered popcorn. Smaller amounts will have a less pronounced impact on blood sugar levels.

Pair the popcorn with a source of protein or healthy fat, such as a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese, to help stabilize blood sugar.

Drink plenty of water before and after eating popcorn to aid digestion and absorption, which can help moderate any blood sugar changes.

Consider adding a side of vegetables or a small salad to your snack to increase fiber intake, which can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Replace some of the popcorn with air-popped popcorn, which contains less oil and butter, to reduce calorie and fat content.

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and to better recognize fullness cues, potentially preventing overeating.

Try to consume popcorn as part of a larger, balanced meal rather than as a standalone snack.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body regulate blood sugar more efficiently.

Keep track of how your body responds to different foods by regularly monitoring your blood sugar levels and adjusting your diet accordingly.

Use spices like cinnamon, which has been suggested to help stabilize blood sugar levels, to season your popcorn instead of butter.
