How to consume Rum And Cola without glucose spikes

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the amount of rum and cola you consume. Smaller portions will have a lesser impact on your blood glucose levels.

Choose a Diet Cola

Opt for a diet or sugar-free cola to significantly cut down the sugar content, thus mitigating the glucose spike.

Add Protein or Healthy Fats

Pair your drink with a protein source like nuts or cheese, or healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of olives, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water alongside your rum and cola to help your body process the sugar more efficiently.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Snack on fiber-rich foods like a handful of berries, a small apple, or carrot sticks before or while drinking. This can help moderate the increase in glucose levels.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light to moderate physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming the drink, as exercise can help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep an eye on your blood glucose levels to understand how your body reacts to the drink, and adjust your intake or strategies accordingly.

Use a Smaller Glass

Serve your drink in a smaller glass to naturally reduce the amount consumed.

Opt for Darker Rum

If possible, choose a darker rum which might have a slightly lower sugar content than lighter varieties.

Consume Slowly

Sip your drink slowly to give your body more time to process the sugar, reducing the likelihood of a spike.
