5. Avoid Caffeinated Drinks: No More Lattes & Cappuccinos
Even though there’s no proven study that links caffeinated drinks to diabetes. Diabetics should still be cautious about consuming caffeine as it can destabilize blood sugar levels. Research from 2008 revealed that the consumption of 250 mg of caffeine leads to an 8% increase in blood sugar. This is particularly alarming for individuals with insulin sensitivity. So, stay away from those delicious lattes & cappuccinos if your health is your concern!
You may consume decaffeinated coffee though. Diabetes UK says that coffees that contain any concentration of cream, any flavored syrup, or some quantity of milk are potentially harmful to diabetic individuals. Black and decaffeinated coffees, however, are an exception.
