Switch to Low-Fat Milk

Use low-fat or skim milk in your coffee to reduce fat intake, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Reduce Sugar Intake

Gradually decrease the amount of sugar you add to your coffee or consider using a natural sweetener like stevia.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a small serving of fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds alongside your meal to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Protein

Pair your meal with a protein source, such as a hard-boiled egg or a small serving of unsweetened Greek yogurt, to help stabilize blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

Nuts as a Snack

Enjoy a handful of almonds or walnuts before or with your meal to help reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.
