Coffee

It’s quite strange, I’ve been using unsweetened soya milk for over a year and now really like it. Coffee consumption went right down when I first swapped, but now I look forward to my early morning Cuppa.
 
Here's my thing about coffee. I really like it, It's my one "quality of life" things that I will compromise on, but not drop. I've been type 2 for 3 years, and have observed spikes on blood glucose and a general raise in blood pressure. So I've switched to decaf (blood pressure), and use soya milk with zero sugar (Alpro unsweetened - No Sugars).

While the taste is not as good as the real thing, I'm certainly not seeing a spike. Is there anything that tastes more pleasant than soya milk that won't spike my glucose?
I can't handle dairy, but I find that Aroy-D coconut milk doesn't effect my blood sugar at all and tastes nice.

Not sure about you but the almond milk (3g carbs/100ml) doesn’t spike me. Semi skimmed milk would a lot which happens to be one of my favourite drinks
The non-sweetened almond is undrinkable and I’d rather drink black (which is what I do mornings and evenings due to intermittent fasting)
