Hi friends,
I've read a lot of mixed messages about coffee, and presume it hits different people in different ways, so self-testing is the way to see if you can take it or not.
I had a Bialetti stove top (6 cup model) worth of tesco espresso ground coffee this morning after breakfast. I didn't take a reading before as it was difficult to time around breakfast. I assume I was 4.1-4,5 fasting, then had walnuts and a boiled egg for breakfast, probably raising me to somewhere in the high-fours, low fives?.
Anyway, 1 hour after my coffee (and 1hr 30 after breakfast I suppose), I was 5.3.
Two hours after, I was 4.9.
To me, that looks like coffee doesn't look too harmful for me, at least as far as BG goes. I have heard some people get things like freak spikes after 4 hours though, and would appreciate any info or experiences on coffee.
