How to consume Coffee With Sugar without glucose spikes

Choose a Natural Sweetener

Opt for natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit as alternatives to sugar. These options do not significantly affect blood glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Consider adding a fiber supplement or a spoonful of psyllium husk to your coffee. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar, preventing spikes.

Include Protein

Pair your coffee with a small protein-rich snack, like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Milk or Plant-Based Milk

If you usually use cream, try using whole milk or unsweetened almond or coconut milk instead. These alternatives have a more balanced impact on blood sugar.

Try Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon into your coffee. Cinnamon has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Limit Sugar Quantity

Gradually reduce the amount of sugar you add to your coffee to help your taste preferences adjust over time.

Eat a Balanced Breakfast

Make sure you eat a balanced breakfast with complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats before drinking coffee. This can help buffer any glucose fluctuations.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water before your coffee to help with metabolism and reduce the concentration of sugar in the bloodstream.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity after consuming your coffee. A short walk can help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of how much coffee you are consuming, as larger volumes with added sugar can lead to higher spikes.
