Coffee with Sugar (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Reduce the amount of sugar gradually (for example, cut it by half first) or use a non-sugar sweetener such as stevia or monk-fruit extract.

Choose unsweetened coffee, and add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a small splash of unsweetened milk for flavor instead of sugar.

Have coffee with a small protein- and fat-containing snack, such as a handful of almonds or walnuts, rather than drinking sweetened coffee on an empty stomach.

If milk is used, choose unsweetened plain Greek yogurt on the side or a small serving of unsweetened dairy/soy milk instead of flavored creamers or sweetened condensed milk.

Try decaf or half-caf coffee if you notice caffeine itself raises your glucose, since caffeine can affect some people even without sugar.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after coffee to help your muscles use circulating glucose.
