How to consume hard candies without glucose spikes

Limit Portion Size

Consume hard candies in moderation to minimize the amount of sugar intake at once.

Pair with Fiber

Eat hard candies alongside high-fiber foods such as oatmeal or whole-grain crackers to slow down sugar absorption.

Add Protein

Include a protein source like almonds, walnuts, or a small piece of cheese when consuming hard candies to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light exercise, like a short walk, after consuming hard candies to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Opt for Lower Sugar Versions

Choose sugar-free or reduced-sugar versions of hard candies when available.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, particularly after having sugary treats, to aid in the metabolism of sugar.

Eat Balanced Meals

Ensure your overall diet is balanced with plenty of vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, which can help moderate the impact of occasional sugary snacks.

Snack Timing

Consume hard candies shortly after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce glucose spikes.

Mindful Eating

Focus on savoring each piece of candy slowly, which can lead to eating less and being more satisfied with smaller quantities.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to better understand how your body responds and make informed adjustments to your diet.
