Iced Coffee (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Order plain iced coffee or cold brew without sugar, flavored syrups, sweetened creamers, or whipped toppings.

Use a small amount of unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened soy milk instead of sweetened milk or flavored creamer.

Choose decaf or half-caf iced coffee if caffeine itself appears to raise your glucose response.

Have the coffee with a protein- and fat-containing option such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a small handful of nuts rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Avoid pairing iced coffee with pastries, muffins, cookies, or other sweet baked items; if you want something alongside it, choose berries or an apple with nuts.

Test smaller servings and drink it after a balanced meal, then compare your glucose response to having it before food.
