Coffee with milk no sugar (1 piece)

Choose unsweetened milk with fewer carbohydrates, such as unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened soy milk, instead of regular dairy milk.

Reduce the milk portion and increase the proportion of plain coffee; a smaller latte-style drink often produces a smaller rise than a large milk coffee.

Have the coffee alongside a protein- and fiber-rich snack, such as a boiled egg with a small handful of almonds, rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Avoid adding flavored creamers, coffee syrups, honey, or sweetened plant milks, which can add hidden carbohydrates.

Drink the coffee after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats instead of as a standalone drink.

Consider decaffeinated coffee if you notice caffeinated coffee consistently raises your glucose, since caffeine can affect glucose responses in some people.
