I'll take mine sugar-free!
I spend a lot of time meeting customers or prospects in neutral places. Once such place that sees more than average activity is Starbucks. I've always loved the Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. I'm not a coffee guy so this was a great way to have a beverage while others enjoyed their coffee fix. With diabetes now; those days were over. But you can order something very similar and maintain the same taste without all the sugars; the Sugar-free Vanilla Creme Frap (no coffee). A few carbs from the milk is all you get; with low sugar. While I still wouldn't have one every day, I don't mind the 1 or 2 a week that I might have. My glucose levels aren't spiking and I get no nasty side effects.
As with anything, my results may differ from yours. I offer this as "information only" and none of this is scientifically proven. Check with your diabetes doctor or nutritionist if you have concerns. I simply want to show you foods you can eat and beverages you can drink when you're out for lunch or dinner, and not seriously impact your glucose levels.
We're working on a video to soon be released over on One Mans Journey TV that will cover this topic more in-depth. Diabetes doesn't have to control you or your habits. Modify your habits so that you may control your diabetes. There's wiggle room in most every case that can give you the latitude to just be you; albeit a slightly less sugary you. Cheers.
