I didn't drink coffee last night but went from 5.4 at 7pm to 10.2 at bed. I ate homemade leek and potato soup but counted the carbs. I took additional bolus before bed as per pump instructions but added an extra 2 units. I was 5 this morning. I also increased my pump basal rate as well.
This would indicate I need to do a basal check however I have finally come down with a bad cold this morning as well so that could well be making my insulin requirements higher. But I was getting these levels a few weeks ago before I got sick.
I am going to let my cold go through and basal check and then experiment with coffee and milk etc. I don't think anyone has conclusively proved either way whether it increases levels or not although thanks to Tim2000s for being a guinea pig
