Drinking your coffee with milk would be a good habit to get into to regulate your blood sugar level and avoid frequent blood sugar spikes after breakfast. A doctor reveals what specific type of milk you should drink to benefit from this benefit.
If adding a dose of milk in a cup of coffee is a bad eating habit which is not recommended if you have bloating or difficult digestion because this milk drink accentuates this problem, milk remains a very useful addition to coffee when you monitor your blood sugar level in order to to avoid weight gain or to reduce the risk of developing a disease such as diabetes. In any case, this is what Jessie Inchauspé reveals, biochemist and author of The glucose methodon her Instagram account where she operates under the pseudonym @glucosegoddess.
In one of her posts, the doctor reveals two graphs showing the evolution of the glucose level in the blood of an individual after taking a coffee with milk, thus analyzing the effect of two different types of milk added in coffee, namely skimmed milk and whole milk. The 2 graphs assess blood sugar levels between the time of breakfast and up to 2 hours after drinking that latte. “Did you know ?” asks the doctor to her followers in a comment on her post, after having proven using these scientific measurements that the whole milk is much better for blood sugar than skimmed milk if you drink coffee with milk in the morning.

Blood sugar: why is whole milk the best to drink in the morning with your coffee?
As shown in the graphs which reveal the evolution of the blood sugar level after drinking a coffee with skimmed milk, and the other which highlights the evolution of the blood sugar level after drinking a coffee with whole milk, whole milk does not cause the famous post-breakfast blood sugar spike that is so feared for health. Indeed, surprisingly, we see a very big spike in blood sugar after taking a coffee with skimmed milk, while the blood sugar level remains much more stable after a coffee with whole milk. Adding whole milk to your coffee makes it a dream drink to limit common blood sugar spikes after breakfast and easily and quickly create a great drink to regulate your blood sugar level in the morning.
