Researchers found that the level of risk dropped even lower for people who drank two to three cups per day. This also held true for people who drank four or more cups per day. This applied to both Caffeinated and Decaffeinated coffees, so if caffeine makes you jittery, feel free to grab a cup of decaf.

If you have a low sugar patient, so you can drink, but careful when you feel dizzy as well as your body does not moment so need to eat sweet. Kuberaksha.com
If you drink
it in moderation you can have hot chocolate with diabetes. It's better to make
your own with unsweetened cocoa powder and then use artificial sweeteners to make
it taste sweeter. You can use packet hot chocolate but you must read the
nutritional information at the back so you know what's in it. You can also buy low-sugar versions.
The
Chocolate Fantasy Drink site have one that is sweetened with Stevia; http://chocolatefantasydrink.com/
Or you could try the diabetic friendly site;
Dagoba make
an organic hot chocolate that is infused with chili and cinnamon and it's
great.

if you are
looking for something a bit daring, Pillsbury have a white chocolate mint
martini recipe!
Or for a more traditional drink, try Paula Deen's White hot chocolate;

Yes. Women
are generally recommended to cut down on their caffeine intake during
pregnancy but the amount of caffeine in
a cup of hot chocolate is much less than you find in coffee or even tea.
So keep drinking your hot chocolate. Obviously an excess of anything isn't good for you, so just aim for a balanced healthy diet.
Although the
two names of drinks are used interchangeably, hot chocolate is a drink that's
either made from real chocolate melted into milk or with packet hot chocolate
powder. Cocoa powder is unsweetened and needs to be combined with sugar to
create a sweeter drink.
In general
hot chocolate is richer and sweeter than hot cocoa.
Cocoa solids in chocolate do contain some caffeine so any drink with chocolate in is not going to be caffeine free. But milk chocolate contains a lot less cocoa solids than dark chocolate, so the type of chocolate used to make the drink will significantly alter the amount of caffeine in it.
To make a
yummy cup of cold 'hot chocolate', take a cup of milk and add in double the
recommended amount of chocolate powder (or cocoa and sugar). Stir well and add
ice cubes.
If you have
time and want a drink that's even more special, you can use chocolate ice cubes
in the drink.
To make
chocolate ice cubes; Mix the recommended amount of hot chocolate with a cup of
milk and freeze in an ice cube tray. When they are solid you can add to the hot
chocolate.
