Stay away from sugary drinks
The one thing doctors recommend avoiding at all costs, especially if you’re diabetic, is sugar-sweetened beverages. “Sugar-laden drinks like sodas and fruit juices quickly raise blood sugar levels and require much more insulin than beverages containing less sugar,” says Schrager.
“This makes your body more insulin resistant.” She recommends drinking mostly water, seltzer water, unsweetened coffee, and teas.
