Strictly speaking, I'm not a vegetarian/vegan, but I often choose those options if available, so I wanted to cut down on dairy (not cut it out, just consume less of), so I've been using oat milk in my teas/coffees occasionally. I've only just found out that the glycemic index of oat milk is off the chart: 105 - higher than pure glucose - due to its content of maltose. And sure enough, when I checked my BG a few minutes after consuming a cup of coffee with oat milk, it registered 7.3 - by far the highest reading I've got this past week, even after meals. Why don't they put a warning on the label?
Edit: two hours later my BG returned to base level 4.9 so it was definitely the oat milk in my coffee that caused the spike. I had a delivery from Tesco's earlier and I sent back the oat milk I had ordered last night.
