Hello I’m a type 1 diabetic (22 yrs), and I have noticed in the last year for some reason coffee will cause high peaks in my sugars.
I’m drinking black filtered coffee. For breakfast I will usually have two cups, and depending if I’m at home or work I may have two more cups during the day. Oddly I’m finding that my sugar levels are getting higher about 20-30 minutes after drinking the cup, if I do not drink then they are fine.
If my coffee does not have milk and of course no sugar I'm assuming the caffeine is causing it to peak? I just don’t know why I have suddenly become sensitive, should one count coffee then as something as having carbs as part of their insulin regime?
