Coffee contains a high level of antioxidant agents. However, when it is already mixed with other ingredients like that in a blended coffee, its benefits may be overpowered by the sugary content of the other ingredients like syrup and whipped cream. This may trigger the rise of glucose in the body, making your diabetes worse.

Try this instead: Lighter version of blended coffees with less sugar

If you are really craving blended coffee drinks like those in Starbucks, choose to order the lighter versions or the non-fat ones. They contain less sugar, which can be the preferred sugar intake for people with diabetes.
