(Tobacco can act in a similar way. Smokers generally don’t need it to “calm down?”)I take my coffee black & still see a nominal rise for me as a T1 with a close eye on BGs & an active lifestyle. (Or should I say professional lifestyle.)Using a CGM or flash monitor has been an eye opener.. (on just my basal dose.)What I do know (or come to understand.) with reactive hypoglycaemia members of our community is carbs can have a negative affect with an over reactive pancreas response producing insulin.. so it could also be feasible the the metabolic stimulation from caffeine could possibly cause issue with the RH members of our community which has no bearing on how we as T1s manage our personal condition…Best wishes.</blockquote>
