Opt for chewing gums that are labeled as sugar-free to minimize sugar intake, which can help prevent glucose spikes.

Look for gums that use sugar alcohols like xylitol or sorbitol as sweeteners instead of sugar.

Chewing too much gum can still introduce a significant amount of sweeteners into your system, so moderate your intake.

Consume a small portion of foods high in fiber such as oats, lentils, or apples alongside your gum to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Drink plenty of water, as it can help your body process any sugars or sweeteners more efficiently.

Pair your gum with a protein-rich snack like a handful of almonds or a slice of cheese to slow down sugar absorption.

Incorporate whole grain snacks such as whole grain crackers or brown rice cakes into your routine to stabilize blood glucose levels.

Keep track of your individual response to different chewing gums and adjust accordingly to see which types have the least impact on your blood sugar.

If you choose to have gum, try doing so after meals rather than on an empty stomach to lessen its impact on glucose levels.

If you frequently experience spikes, consider seeking advice from a nutritionist or healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
