[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1623069, member: 438800"] I am only just beginning to realize that. Even though my T2D "case" turned out to be very standard, and so far, easily "reversible" with diet. But, if only for selfish reasons, getting as much education as possible about the possible future course of the disease is valuable; also very interesting, in an odd kind of way. I have been a big coffee addict my whole adult life. In particular, I spent much of the last 20 years doing in-house software development. This is a nightmare from a health point of view because it tends to be done in very long, sometimes overnight, sessions of totally sedentary work. My go-to pick-up was endless cups of coffee, all of them with milk and white sugar. Since the diagnosis I have tried to break this cycle, with some success. Obviously the milk and sugar are gone, and fortunately there hasn't been much in the way of software development to do this year. I am sleeping much better, partly because of stepped-up exercise. But I noticed that not only was I still drinking lots of coffee, it had actually increased somewhat. I did not need a BP monitor to know that the coffee has an effect. I can feel my heart racing after a cup. The BP readings are just a confirmation, really. Still not definitive, but common sense is telling me that it might well be time to either cut out the coffee, or at least moderate it greatly. [/QUOTE]
