Caffe latte (1 piece)

Order the latte unsweetened; skip flavored syrups, sugar, honey, and sweetened toppings.

Choose a smaller size and use less milk, such as a macchiato, cortado, or coffee with a small splash of milk.

Try decaf or half-caf, since caffeine can cause a temporary glucose rise in some people even without added sugar.

Choose unsweetened dairy milk or an unsweetened almond beverage; avoid sweetened oat, rice, and flavored plant beverages.

Have the latte with or after a meal rather than on an empty stomach; pairing it with plain Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts may blunt the rise.

Compare your response on different days by checking the same latte made with different milk, size, and caffeine levels; individual responses vary.
