skinny prosecco – Divabetic

The tradition of drinking champagne to mark celebrations originated in the royal courts of Europe before 1789, where the expensive drink was viewed as a status symbol.

A 5-ounce serving of champagne has 3 to 4 grams of carbohydrates and 1.5 grams of sugar. Champagne tastes less dry than wine because the acidity level is very high.

However, remember that these grams of carbs and sugar will add up with every glass of champagne you drink.

Unlike Champagne and some sparkling wines, Prosecco is made using a less expensive method than champagne.

For a long time, Prosecco was regarded as something of a ‘poor man’s Champagne,’ but its popularity has soared since 2000, and in 2013 it outsold Champagne for the first time worldwide.

A glass of Prosecco contains 1.5g of sugar per glass (80 calories).

A six-ounce glass of other well-known Proseccos is around 100 calories, and for Champagne, around 140 calories. It should be noted that Champagne is always going to be higher in calories because it contains more alcohol compared to Prosecco.

Skinny prosecco contains half the sugar and just 67 calories a glass.

Pink champagne is a victory lap in a glass. The pale color, the effervescent bubbles, and the unique shape of the glass lend themselves to marking milestones. The elegant way you sip it and how it sparkles on your tongue make moments real or imagined better. For these reasons and more, I chose pink champagne over other cocktails to be featured in my song, Pink Champagne.

I’m excited to share that I wrote a new Christmas song with two of my Luther Vandross colleagues, to be released later this year. Since the song lyrics mention alcohol, it’s an excellent opportunity to tackle alcohol and diabetes.

In February’s podcast, Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDCES, and I will be speaking about alcohol’s effect on blood sugars. Tune in to Divabetic’s podcastfeaturing music by Dean Martin on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, at 6 PM, EST.

Podcast guests: Fran Carpentier, Mama Rose Marie, and Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDCES. Throughout this podcast, we will be featuring music from The Essential Dean Martin album courtesy of SONY Music.

In addition, I’ll be blogging about the various ‘Skinny Proseccos’ on the market with the fabulous Catherine Schuller in subsequent blog posts on Divabetic.Org. These brands claim to have less added sugar and fewer calories than other Proseccos. But are these proseccos a better option or just marketing hype?

Keep in mind less added sugar doesn’t mean NO SUGAR. Skinny Prosecco also contains alcohol.

Many people with diabetes enjoy alcohol. But you need to know how alcohol affects your blood sugar as well as your blood pressure. For example, drinking alcohol may cause your blood sugars to rise or fall.

Moderate amounts of alcohol may cause blood sugars to rise. Conversely, excess alcohol decreases your blood sugars– sometimes causing it to drop into dangerous levels, especially for people with type 1 diabetes.

Beer and sweet wine contain carbohydrates and may raise blood sugar.

Alcohol stimulates your appetite, which can cause you to overeat and may affect your blood sugar control.

Alcoholic drinks often have a lot of calories, making it more challenging to lose excess weight.

Alcohol may also affect your judgment or willpower, causing poor food choices.

Alcohol can interfere with the positive effects of oral diabetes medicines or insulin.

Alcohol can cause flushing, nausea, increased heart rate, and slurred speech. These may be confused with or mask the symptoms of low blood sugar.

I’m looking forward to hosting a virtual Record Release Party on Zoom with the musicians, vocalists, and educators to celebrate my new songwriting credit!!
