Honey (Dabur) (1 Serving) and Coffee (1 Mug (8 Fl Oz))

Reduce the honey portion gradually; try measuring 1 teaspoon or less, or reserve it for occasional use rather than adding freely.

Have coffee unsweetened or use cinnamon, vanilla, or cocoa powder for flavor instead of additional sweeteners.

Avoid drinking coffee with honey on an empty stomach; have it after or alongside a protein-rich meal or snack such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small handful of nuts.

Choose plain, unsweetened milk or an unsweetened soy beverage if you add milk, and avoid flavored creamers or sweetened coffee drinks.

Pair any honey-containing coffee with high-fiber foods such as chia seeds, berries, or an apple to slow absorption.

Check whether caffeine itself raises your readings: try a smaller coffee, decaffeinated coffee, or drinking it later in the day, and compare your response.
