What Is the Best Coffee for Diabetes? | How to Drink Coffee Without Blood Sugar Spikes

[@BigCraig]

For me a good alternative to drip coffee is espresso. It's a popular misconception that espresso has more caffeine, when in fact the opposite is true. It has less caffeine than a cup of drip coffee, yet it gives me the condensed taste of coffee that I'm looking for....it's a win/win.

I've been studying coffee and type 1 for about 30 years. What I've found is 1 cup with heavy cream, is worth the increase of about 50 points. I hope to continue my study for another 30.

When I have coffee my blood sugar spikes VERY high right away. I have been just getting a shot of espresso and just taking very small sips...it works. You get the coffee taste but not the spike.

[@BullyPorterJones]

Becky here - best coffee for me is home made cold brew (bought a bottle system from Aldi), organic unsweetened almond milk and organic stevia (Walmart brand) to make it a bit sweet. No spike in my blood sugar at all. Now my morning brewed cup is about 10 carbs…I use stevia and whole milk in that. Just all trial and error to see what works best.

[@BrewCityRider]

Very interesting how coffee will affect people differently. I'll have 1 or 2 cups of organic freshly ground coffee every morning usually with a little half and half or heavy cream with no increase in blood sugar. I like the extra fats and protein in my coffee because I'm on a Keto diet and it helps.

[@msss7451]

Something else to think about is powdered alternative sweeteners like stevia or Splenda are often mixed with dextrose or maltodextrin which can impact your blood sugar the same as regular table, sugar and Spike glucose.

[@sharonsplace5146]

Since I had started using a CGM I had noticed my sugar spiking to 200 after my morning coffee. (With 1/2 packet of sweetener and 2 teaspoons of powdered creamer). This amazed me. At this time I don’t use insulin. I did not know that caffeine can raise your glucose. I am planning to gradually decrease the additives until I drink it black to see if that solves the problem. If not I will change to decaf. Thanks for this video. It was so informative and helpful.

[@DiabetesStrong]

Glad it was helpful. Not many doctors tell patients (or maybe they don't know...) about coffee's potential impact. Always surprises me as so many of us enjoy coffee

[@boothompson5232]

Grateful I've been a black coffee drinker long before I became a T1! Doesn't seem to bother my glucose levels - but I only drink 2 to 3 small cups a day. Great, informative video!!

[@BJo4230]

cup of 8 oz coffee or mushroom coffee maybe 3 x a week with half and half or coconut cream with monk fruit sweetner i also like to add tumeric with pepper and ceylon cinnamon. And i only drink coffee in the afternoons.

[@ryant5067]

Coffee with unsweetened creamer (I use Califa unsweetened almond milk or nut pods brand) and it really helps stabilize my blood sugars. I only have 12 ounces a day though. And use medium roast from sams club (members mark brand)

[@WarrenKimpel]

again thanks for the fine video

[@Adam_Newman]

I like the instant coffee

[@debrabaxter4546]

Me to

[@stuartwexelbaum9070]

An alternative I drink is Barley Coffee which contains no caffeine..it's tastes real good but you don't the bang of caffeinated coffee..It's a real good digestive..The brand I prefer is Cafe Roma..

[@BJo4230]

I just found that on Amazon Thank you 😊

[@Junebug00000]

Have noticed that enery drinks (sugarfree) doesn't effect my bloodsugar, but tea with a small amount of milk does. Thank you for a great video!

[@DiabetesStrong]

Thanks for sharing!

[@larkspin]

My favorite "coffee" is iced tea! Never was a coffee drinker.

[@judiwhiteaker5893]

I have 3-4 cups of coffee in the morning. I have to bolus 1 carb/cup. I only use 1 tsp collagen Peptides, Stevia and 1Tbs Nut Pods (coconut almond milk). 0 Carbs

[@redrobin2560]

This comment has nothing to do with coffee. =) I've just finished watching several of your videos. They are so good and very informative. But I have a question please.... How do you take off the sensor and overpatch. I'm in my mid 70's and my skin is so very thin. I can't get the crazy thing off. My husband suggested I spray WD40 on a paper towel and then wet the overpatch really well. It still pulled something awful. Does anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong? Help ! THANK YOU.

[@DiabetesStrong]

I agree, it's VERY sticky. My go-to is either Baby Oil or an adhesive remover (which is VERY effective). I talked about it in an earlier video but you can find the glue remover on Amazon (here's a link amzn.to/3ae4tce). And thank you for watching, I appreciate it

[@judiwhiteaker5893]

I run on coffee and insulin 😍

[@LevelDroneRCX]

I drink one double espresso with a little half and half no sugar or sweetener late in the day, never in the morning! Seems OK for me, type 2.

[@bp1194]

Thank you so much. You are amazing

[@johnlee2692]

Most coffee, black or sweetened with truvia and a bit of heavy cream, normally kick up my sugars. But not always. And that's just another thing that's makes being Type 1 so special. And diet colas or tea, no effect at all.

[@shelleyhodgkinson1341]

Decaf coffee and a splash of half and half seems to work for me

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice video, I sometimes use decaf, and sometimes coffee with caffeinated, and sometimes mix the two

[@DiabetesStrong]

Thanks. Never thought of mixing. Interesting idea

[@geosutube]

I just love the taste and flavor of coffee and it has very little to do with what else I am consuming.

[@anthonyshelley6083]

I just avoid eating until the spike starts coming down

[@crabstick250]

My endocrinologist told me that coffee boosts cortisone which raises sugar. I never understood why my numbers went up w just black coffee!!

[@scottjones6624]

Good thorough video and the sound effects were funny.

[@slugo915]

Good morning. Have a great day.

[@DiabetesStrong]

You too

[@emh8861]

It spikes my blood pressure.

[@cagsix7177]

Does a regular black tea / decaffeinated included ?

[@DiabetesStrong]

They’re included

[@stuartsinclair6269]

A splash of milk contains 2/3sugars fact….. I couldn’t work it out at first. Now on decaffeinated tea, no sugar 👍🏻

[@MagiMystik]

decaf coffee works for me.

[@jdram58]
