What Happens to Your Blood Sugar When You Drink Coffee – Eating Well

What Happens to Your Blood Sugar When You Drink Coffee

From caffeine to creamers, experts break down how your morning coffee may influence blood sugar levels.

• Coffee on its own doesn’t typically have a significant impact on your blood sugar levels. 
• Adding sweeteners and flavored creamers, among other factors, can increase your blood sugar.
• Cut back on sweeteners, pair coffee with meals and stay active to limit glucose spikes.

Your blood sugar naturally fluctuates throughout the day. “Levels rise after meals for everyone because carbohydrates break down into glucose,” says Kathleen Benson, CSSD, CPT, RDN. In people with insulin resistance or diabetes, these increases may be higher and last longer because the body doesn’t respond to insulin as efficiently or doesn’t produce enough of it, Benson explains.

“For most people, blood sugar levels are lowest in the morning after fasting overnight and rise after meals as your body digests and absorbs carbohydrates,” adds Lauren Manaker, M.S., RDN, LD, CLEC, CPT. Since many of us reach for a cup (or two) of coffee in the morning, you may wonder whether your daily brew is affecting your blood sugar levels at the start of each day. Our experts take a deep dive into how your morning java may affect your blood sugar.

How Coffee Affects Your Blood Sugar

“Coffee on its own typically doesn’t cause a significant rise in blood sugar itself,” Manaker says. It’s the other add-ons, like sugary syrups and certain sweeteners, that can lead to a temporary spike in blood glucose, Manaker notes. “If you’re drinking coffee after a meal, the impact on blood sugar is likely minimal, especially if the meal includes protein and healthy fats.”

Those who are caffeine-sensitive and don’t have diabetes may also see a more dramatic increase in blood sugar compared to others. “Coffee can raise blood sugar for some people because caffeine can trigger hormones that tell the liver to release extra glucose,” Benson says.

“This doesn’t happen to everyone, and the effect depends on how sensitive someone is to caffeine and how much they drink.”

Why impact initiatives strengthen your brand and amplify PR success

Nowadays, a company’s reputation is built far beyond the quality of its products or services. Stakeholders, including customers, investors, talent, regulators, and the broader public, expect businesses to play an active role in solving societal challenges. When a firm deliberately supports non‑profits, contributes to charitable causes, and embraces social responsibility, it does more than “do good.” It creates a virtuous cycle that fuels a stronger public image, deepens trust, and supercharges every PR effort.

Impact initiatives can translate into tangible communication benefits for a modern organization. Let's take a look at some of them to better understand how doing good can be good for your brand.

Authentic storytelling power

Strategic partnerships with NGOs provide credible, human‑focused narratives that resonate across media channels. Employee volunteer programs generate authentic, employee‑ and community-generated content, such as photos, testimonials, behind‑the‑scenes glimpses, that feels genuine to audiences. Transparent philanthropy reporting supplies measurable data points for press releases, case studies, and thought‑leadership pieces.

Audiences are increasingly skeptical of overt self‑promotion; when a brand’s story is anchored in real‑world outcomes, such as the number of meals provided, schools built, or carbon emissions reduced, the narrative feels trustworthy and shareable. Journalists, influencers, and analysts gravitate toward stories that demonstrate measurable impact, giving your media outreach a ready‑made hook.

Differentiation in a crowded marketplace

Purpose‑driven companies enjoy a competitive edge in sectors where product differentiation is thin. Brand recall rises when a firm’s purpose is clearly communicated, and trade publications love purpose‑first case studies because they illustrate how business success can coexist with societal benefit.

By positioning your business as a company that actively contributes to the community, you create a distinctive identity that cuts through the noise of generic companies.

Strengthening stakeholder trust

Customers today often choose brands aligned with their values, and highlighting charitable contributions can tip the decision in your favor. Investors increasingly incorporate ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) metrics into their analyses; demonstrating robust social initiatives can attract capital and improve valuation. Top‑tier professionals seek employers whose mission matches their own aspirations, so showcasing a culture of giving helps attract and retain high‑performing staff, which in turn fuels better client outcomes and positive word‑of‑mouth. When trust is high, earned media opportunities multiply because journalists view your organization as a reliable source of insight.

Amplified earned media opportunities

Hosting or sponsoring charity events naturally draws local and industry press. Data from your impact programs, such as helping 10,000 students improve digital literacy: provides fresh angles for op‑eds, podcasts, and panel invitations. Many industry awards now include categories for corporate social responsibility, offering additional publicity pathways. Each of these touchpoints feeds back into your broader PR calendar, creating a steady stream of content without the need for heavy‑handed pitching.

Crisis resilience

A strong record of social contribution builds goodwill that can act as a buffer during inevitable setbacks. When a company has demonstrated consistent commitment to the community, stakeholders are more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt and await corrective actions rather than jumping to negative conclusions.

Measurable return on investment

While impact initiatives are fundamentally about doing good, they also generate quantifiable returns for the business. Media impressions tied to CSR activities often show higher reach per story compared with standard service announcements. Social posts about charitable work typically enjoy higher likes, shares, and comments, boosting algorithmic visibility.

Purpose‑aligned prospects are more likely to convert after engaging with socially responsible content. The moment you integrate analytics into your impact programs, you can report concrete performance metrics and have tangible results to communicate to stakeholders

Practical steps to integrate impact into your PR strategy

First, define a clear purpose that aligns with the core values of your company. This can span from creating scholarship for students, providing resources (even free services) to an NGO supporting children in need to direct donations to non-profit organizations.

Next, select strategic partners whose missions complement your expertise; this creates synergy and richer storytelling.

Create a content calendar that maps out quarterly milestones such as donation announcements, volunteer days, and impact reports, weaving them into your overall communications plan.

Empower employees to share their experiences about their involvement in impact activities, curating these stories for internal newsletters and external channels.

Finally, establish key performance indicators, like funds donated, volunteer hours, media coverage generated, and publish an annual impact report to demonstrate accountability and progress.

Impact initiatives amplify your reputation and brand

Impact initiatives are not peripheral add‑ons; they are integral levers that amplify every facet of public relations: from authentic storytelling and media attraction to stakeholder trust and crisis resilience. By embedding purposeful action into the DNA of your business, you can not only contribute positively to society but also reinforce the very brand promise you deliver to your clients and other stakeholders.

TNA iMPACT! Expected To See Ratings Boost With Move To AMC Beginning January 2026 - https://www.wrestlingnewssource.com/news/96734/TNA-iMPACT-Expected-To-See-Ratings-Boost-With-Move/ #tna #tnawrestling #impact #amc

Finished up at a #kink event, not as many folks as I usually tie up, but that just meant I could tie up the same folks in different ways throughout the night. The alpaca wool got a field test with a sensory focused bottom: "Soft, squishy, and sorta pokey but in a soft way not a bad way. Reminds you that it's there and you're not going anywhere." and "Is there going to be more?"

Tonight had an enforced dress code "kink formal." It's really just an excuse to dress up. I am often in my typical cargo pants + crop with complimentary jewelry, carabiners, rope, etc. but I feel like I should diversify. Please feel free to leave your #FashionAdvice suggestions in the comments! I'll try to publicly model looks that I think I can pull off.

I do like the nights where more scenes are happening around. Some of them are delightfully whimsical. And some are just plain impressive. Some #impact tops can just go on for hours with regular rapid fire beats that is basically music at that point.

There was also a raffle. I won one of the groups of items. I stuffed mine into a random cup. The items aren't the kind of things I would get much use out of myself. *shrugs*

Then, I get home, let the dogs out as per their ritual. Unlike their ritual, they start awooing, alerting the neighborhood to some critter. Past midnight, below freezing, and I'm plodding through icy snow in not even close to enough clothing or appropriate shoes. And that's the story of why I'm currently chilly instead of asleep.
