Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guzelino" data-source="post: 2639004" data-attributes="member: 344271">I'm a type 1 for 14 years, and always had my 1st cup of coffee within the first 30 mins after waking up, and thus far, I have not seen any effects via my CGM (libre 1/2). My to-go coffee option is a brewed Turkish coffee (approx. 1 cup of 150-200 ml, 2 teaspoons grinded coffee). I usually drink 3-5 coffees a day, with no effect on my BG.Many articles have surfaced lately, stating that it influences the BG levels, but I personally think this mainly depends on the person, as each individual is unique, metabolic processes are different in everyone at different times of the day.The title here says "spikes" but your experience says "hypo" which are contradictory terms. Also, the choice of coffee plays a significant amount (whether it is clean coffee, mixed with milk/sweeteners etc.).As one commenter said, see how it works for you, if it does more damage than good, better drop it and switch to alternative "wake-up" drinks (for example, tea).</blockquote>
