Ok thank you I will keep a eye on the situationHi , I'm new to this and have been doing some research on different things and the coffee question has me confused . I'm a truck driver that works nights and for years have carried a 2 litre flask of strong black filter coffee with me , mainly to help keep me awake lol . My question is , if I carry on drinking as much will it affect my chances of getting my sugar levels down ? I use sweetners not sugar in it.
diabetic nurse has not provided me with a meter test , she has just taken more bloods. My sugar levels had gone down from 15-11 waiting to hear about my latest blood results.Hiya and welcome. Short answer: don't know. I hope not cos I drink a fair few mugs of coffee daily. I would have thought keeping your BS levels down depends more on what you eat. For which you need a meter to test yourself. Got one?
I'd be more concerned with the carbs you are eating with 11% and a lot buy the sd codefree meter off the netOk thank you I will keep a eye on the situation

For me, the more carbs we eat the more carbs we want. they don’t give up easy

Full cream is best decaff's good if you prefer it :I have recently discovered ive been eating incorrectly as a type 2 diabetic, in the last 3 weeks i have gained better control of my blood sugars, im learning fast but i am unsure of which milk is the best to drink in my coffee full fat or semi skimmed, and would decaffeinated coffee be better for you ?
many thanks jackie

As @Clivethedrive says, cream. Some of us use unsweetened almond milk, or soya milk. Not just in coffee & tea. Matter of taste (and budget) but worth a try.I have recently discovered ive been eating incorrectly as a type 2 diabetic, in the last 3 weeks i have gained better control of my blood sugars, im learning fast but i am unsure of which milk is the best to drink in my coffee full fat or semi skimmed, and would decaffeinated coffee be better for you ?
