Freshly Brewed Coffee - Grande (Starbucks) (1 Serving)

Have the coffee unsweetened; avoid sugar, syrups, honey, sweetened creamers, and whipped toppings.

Choose a smaller size or drink it more slowly, especially if you notice caffeine-related rises.

Try decaf or half-caf coffee; caffeine can raise glucose for some people even without added sugar.

Drink coffee with or after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

If you want something alongside it, choose a small portion of plain Greek yogurt, eggs, nuts, or cheese rather than pastries or sweet breakfast items.

Check whether milk is contributing: use a modest amount of unsweetened milk or unsweetened plant milk, and avoid sweetened versions.
