I am a pre-diabetes. I drink coffee without sugar and creamer but I add some fresh milk to make it less bitter. For a cup of 250 ml black coffee, how much fresh milk should I add in order to avoid a sudden surge of glucose level in blood?

As a diabetic patient we must know that all canned drink are full of sugar. Avoid it.

U need to drink a lot of water because your body are unable to produce sufficient insulin to lower the BS level. The kidneys come into play and pass the extra sugar to urine and you start to urine very often.... so you feel very thirsty. .. you react by drinking more water. Your kidneys start...
