Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

6. Coffee

Most people can’t start their day without a fresh cup of Joe. But no matter whether you opt for a skinny latte, cappuccino, espresso, or even a matcha latte, you need to be careful as a diabetic when drinking coffee. Although coffee won’t increase your chances of getting diabetes, caffeine can naturally destabilize and increase your blood sugar – sometimes by as much as 8%. Of course, this is exactly what you don’t want to happen. 

Naturally, adding cream and syrups to a coffee only heightens its sugar content, which is why diabetics who still want to drink coffee should try and drink decaf black coffee as much as possible.
