Scotch is mainly made of malt and water. It has no glucose properties of its own. A zero-carb drink, due to its molecular structure, is prone to causing hypoglycemia. People with high blood sugar also need to be very careful as this alcoholic drink can also cause damage to the organs like the liver.<\/p>\n<p>Scotch and Soda Optimisation for Better Glucose Levels<br \/>\n\u2022 Make sure to limit yourself to 1 drink.<br \/>\n\u2022 To help stabilise the glucose levels, you may pair your drink with cheese, olives and nuts as they are &#8216;good fats&#8217; and contain oleic acid.<br \/>\n\u2022 Consider having a salad and a protein meal before indulging in any drinks. Combinations such as these will buffer any alcohol spikes.<br \/>\n\u2022 Try to hydrate with water + salt while drinking to prevent dehydration.<\/p>\n<p>Even though scotch has zero carbs, pairing them with other drinks requires you to consider the amount of sugar consumed. Try replacing them with water or plain soda. Also, avoid taking alcohol on an empty stomach as it may cause sudden spikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
