Many people believe that blood sugar rises only after eating sugary or high-carbohydrate foods. However, a Canadian naturopathic doctor recently highlighted that several everyday habits can increase blood glucose levels, even when you have not eaten anything. In some individuals, especially those with hormonal issues or existing metabolic problems, long gaps between meals can cause blood sugar fluctuations. This can sometimes lead to a rebound spike in blood sugar. If the coffee contains added sugar, syrups, or flavoured creamers, the blood sugar spike can be even greater.
