2-Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar contains low calories, but it provides the body with a number of benefits, most notably regulating the metabolism process, including regulating blood glucose levels and improving insulin response. Apple cider vinegar can be taken by adding it to salads or directly by putting a spoonful of apple cider vinegar to a cup of water.
3- Bone broth
Bone broth is one of the liquids recommended by nutritionists, as a result of its high nutritional value, such as a high source of protein. Protein raises blood glucose, which raises insulin levels. Protein does not have a negative effect on blood sugar and insulin levels as much as carbohydrates. .

4- Soft drinks
Soft drinks are not considered healthy all the time, but drinking half a cup of them leads to an increase in blood sugar levels, because they contain carbohydrates that are high in relation to the presence of sugars in them.
5- Citrus juice
Doctors recommend getting 1/2 cup of any juice made from citrus fruits, such as:
-pineapple juice.
Grapefruit juice.
-orange juice.
-Lemonade.
Citrus fruits contain a high percentage of healthy carbohydrates found in dietary fiber, which lead to a rise in blood sugar.
