Esspresso - Freddo (1 cup)

Avoid drinking a Freddo espresso on an empty stomach; have it with a small protein- and fat-containing snack such as plain Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds.

Choose an unsweetened or lightly sweetened Freddo espresso, and avoid syrups, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and large amounts of flavored cream.

Use milk or an unsweetened milk alternative rather than drinking a strong double espresso black if caffeine seems to trigger the drop.

Reduce the espresso size or choose decaf/half-caf, especially if you notice shakiness, sweating, dizziness, or symptoms after caffeine.

Eat regular balanced meals and pair carbohydrates with protein and fat; options include an apple with peanut butter or plain Greek yogurt with berries.

If low readings or symptoms are recurrent, severe, or occur with confusion or fainting, seek prompt medical advice; treat a confirmed low blood sugar according to your clinician’s plan.
