[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1853966, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=443439]@Nexus6[/USER] and [USER=255604]@CandiceWilson[/USER], Caffeine induces the liver to release some of its stored glucose. (wedmd.com How does caffeine affect your blood sugar) Sure the milk in the coffee will also cause a sugar rise because of the milk sugar (lactose) in it. The fat in cheese, and even the milk, slows down absorption of the coffee, it takes longer to go from stomach to the small intestine to be absorbed and then affect BSLs. If it was the Dawn Phenomenon (see site for description) causing the bsl rise, then the rise would occur to some extent whether you were drinking coffee first thing or not. The expected time for a meal to cause a maximal increase in BSL is said to be about 90 minutes to 120 minutes (see this site for details) You could perhaps do BSL readings at intervals say, at 1, 2, 2 1/2, 3 hours to what effect adding full cream or cheese or not, would make. Please keep enjoying the coffee. Last thought: there is a created word: procaffeination - meaning the feeling of looking forward to drinking coffee - if one becomes tense with the thought of running late for obtaining that first cuppa, THAT could put the BSL up !!
