[QUOTE="MrsGruffy, post: 1828909, member: 472571"] In the small study in question, they replaced the coffee with caffeine tablets. That's 250mg of caffeine hitting the blood all at the same time. Nobody does that with actual coffee, and the caffeine tablets don't have all the other good stuff that coffee has in it. It's hardly the same thing. I have one triple shot bucket of coffee with a splodge of cream in it every morning, and it usually takes me an hour to drink it. Raising 5 children meant I never finished a hot cup of coffee and the habit of slowly sipping away even once it's cold has never stopped. I occasionally tell people my relationship broke down because my partner was in the habit of tipping out my perfectly good half cup of cold coffee. He said my cold coffee was gross and vile and fully offended his coffee snobbery. Coffee doesn't ever raise my blood sugars, and there was no difference in my 2 hour post "breakfast" reading on the two occasions that I have gone for fasting blood tests and haven't had my usual morning coffee breakfast.
