Coffee - Black Coffee (1 serving(s))

Try decaf or half-caf coffee; caffeine can raise glucose in some people even without sugar or milk.

Avoid drinking black coffee immediately after waking or when fasting; have it after a balanced meal instead.

Pair coffee with protein and fiber, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs with avocado, or a small handful of nuts.

Keep the serving smaller and avoid multiple coffees close together; test whether a single small cup is better tolerated.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after coffee to help blunt the rise.

Check for hidden additions, including flavored beans, sweeteners, creamers, or medication/supplement powders taken with coffee.
