Hello, coffee does not lower blood glucose levels. In fact, individuals with elevated blood sugar should avoid drinking coffee, as it may cause a further rise in blood glucose levels and potentially worsen their condition. Management for such patients primarily involves taking antihyperglycemic medications. Additionally, they should avoid high-sugar foods—such as pastries—in their daily diet. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
