Science is pretty much clear that no amount of alcohol is actually good for health. Still, a lot of us enjoy an occasional drink and with the New Year season around the corner, I figured it’s the perfect time to look at which mixers cause the highest sugar spikes and the biggest crashes so they can be avoided! Let’s see what happens!

Disclaimer: I’m not a diabetic. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics. My own results vary a little each day. Glycemic load, calories, quality & quantity of food, all of these matter. Finally, I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice.
.
How to see my results: Best is to focus on general trends to develop an intuition on which foods should spike more, and which less. Don’t focus on absolute numbers. Ideally, each person should test on themselves to get the most personalised results.
.
Why I’m doing this if I’m not a diabetic: I’ve noticed that preventing high sugar spikes helps me manage my weight as I get lesser food cravings. Plus, prevention is the best medicine. Research today shows that high blood sugar variability over time can lead to diabetes, heart disease & obesity. Please see the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder & Dr. Annette Bosworth.
