Hi @alodeny

It depends what's in it. I find many iced lattes seem to have syrups in and these can push the carb count up. You could try and see what happens to your blood sugar after.

You could try roasted unsweetened almond milk, it's carb free, with sugar free syrup?

You dare!!

@alodeny: Da Vinci make some sugar free syrups using sucralose (a sweetener which personally I won't use - but check the forum for other opinions!) , and I've recently discovered that Sukrin make both a gold and clear sugar free syrup, but not tried this yet.
