utter tosh
I have type 2 and a blood meter
for testing
with no caffeine ,I get up ,measure 70 as my sugar level and exercise for 60 minutes
with no breakfast or glyburide
my sugar rises to 120
the next day ,same routine; but I take a green tea tablet(about one coffee’s worth of caffeine)
now my sugar rises to 87..
if I take too much caffeine the effect is lost

I just found this to be true for me. I have gestational diabetes and have been monitoring my blood sugar levels. Although I avoid caffine most of the time I have had coffee twice with breakfast and both times it made my blood sugar much higher than it is normally. That’s why I was here trying to find out if I was crazy or if the coffee really did make it go up. Now, I know to avoid it ALL the time. Thanks for the info.

they tested 14 people? I hardly think that their results can be representative or statistically significant. . .

Cheers,

Yeah, that is a good point there — you’d think researchers would test more that 14 people for… well, just about any study ://

caffeine=bad…I’ve said it for years. I personally gave the stuff up completely 11 years ago. It makes life a lot easier when you’re not addicted to that “first cup of coffee” or the diet coke that you just have to have to get going in the morning. :)

Hmm, and I have a problem with *low* blood sugar – I wonder if caffeine is actually beneficial to me in this way? :)
