I have found that drinking coffee raises my BG reading at least 20 points and that is when I did an experiment and choked it down black.
If I put Splenda in it, it goes up another 15 points.
I am not a big coffee drinker and don't even have it every day but on those days I feel I need an extra jolt, I sure would like to have a cup.
I am going to experiment with different sweeteners and see what that does.
I use Keurig K-cups in the flavored coffee variety - but they say on their website that the flavoring contains something like .3 carbs so I wouldn't think that would be a contributing factor.
Does coffee just raise BG for some people?
