[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2328422, member: 277410"] Hi [USER=532971]@Choosehappy[/USER] and welcome! Caffeine has absolutely no impact on my blood sugars at all - but I drink black coffee. If I have a very occasional hot chocolate, which will have a bit of milk in, I would take insulin for that, either at the meal before if knew I'd be definitely having the milky drink later, or at the time I have the drink just for the drink. Skimmed milk has slightly more carbs than full fat milk. Food really has to be your choice, what makes you feel healthy and happy and you can get the insulin right for! Personally, I do better on fewer carbs than my non-diabetic friends, a relatively consistent amount for each meal up to what works for me, which varies with my activity levels. The tricky bit is that is not always predictable. So, I eat very few carbs in the morning, more at lunchtime, then a bit less in the evenings on a workday, loads on a very active day, very few on a lazy day! I like variety in my food, and since being on insulin, have rejoiced in the freedom to eat what I choose. [/QUOTE]
