coffee

Here's my thing about coffee. I really like it, It's my one "quality of life" things that I will compromise on, but not drop. I've been type 2 for 3 years, and have observed spikes on blood glucose and a general raise in blood pressure. So I've switched to decaf (blood pressure), and use soya...

Your thoughts? According to the Mayo Clinic, caffeine can impair insulin reaction. This means it may take more time for your dose of insulin to fully kick in. Caffeine can also increase your body’s resistance to insulin. In addition, a 2008 Duke University study showed that caffeine may have...

I am borderline prediabetic so I don't want that to progress any further. I feel I've improved my diet as far as refined carbs and all that, but my quandary is with treats. I prefer drinking sugar (half-sweet lattes, iced teas or, currently, iced pumpkin chai lattes) rather than eating it...

Just curious, as a D2 I find myself enjoying and craving coffee with full cream a little more than before the D2 life. Is this something that is going on with me or do you find yourself drinking more coffee? I find the mornings in the last few months a little tougher to get going and the second...

Hello friends. After being diagnosed with type 2 in Jan 2016. I now have my diabetes under control sort off (HBA1C was 55 in Mar 2018 down from 122 in Jan 2016). Tomorrow I am going out with friends for a coffee I have not done this in 2 years. I am not sure what I can have if my friends all...

when we are travelling or when we are outside, it should not become a challenge to enjoy/order a Keto friendly coffee without losing the taste of it... Requested for a Latte with double cream instead of Milk when I wanted to enjoy a nice *bucks coffee. Are there better ways to bend rules and...

I prefer to stick to organic dairy products. I've been searching for organic cream but can only find Sainsbury's Organic double cream. Please can anyone tell me if this will work in coffee?

According to the research cited in this article: http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/caffeine-and-carbs-dont-mix/ caffeine is a no-no for type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetics. Sometimes I feel it would be simpler just to give up eating and drinking altogether!

Hi all! I've been diabetic for 16 years now, yet I've never really paid too much attention to my health until the last 2 or 3 months. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like I was doing too badly - however now I'm actually paying attention to myself I find this condition is pretty difficult to control...

I used to drink black instant coffee (1-2 cups/day) before I had symptoms. Now I only drink water. But when I researched online, I found there are contradicting reports/studies as regards whether coffee is good or bad for diabetes. As of now, there doesn't seem to be a definitive conclusion...

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could answer a question for me. Can you drink tea or coffee on the Newcastle diet? I know you can't have milk, but can you drink tea of coffee black? Or are they not allowed in their own right? Many thanks in advance for any help :)
