- Dairy:

- Alcohol:
- Moderate amounts of alcohol can be safe: one drink per day for women, and two for men.
- Choose light beer, dry wine, or cocktails mixed with diet beverages, seltzer, or club soda.
- Always monitor blood sugar levels when consuming alcohol.

Worst Foods and Drinks:
- Sugary Drinks:
- Avoid drinks high in sugar, such as sugary mixed drinks, sweet wines, or dessert wines, as they can cause hyperglycemia.
