In the Middle east and North Africa strong coffee is often taken with water, acts as a sort of chaser and has the effect of extending the flavour of the coffee.
why the cold water?
i also disagree with nic-picking over pittyful amounts of grams of carbs What matters is the bigger picture, i. e. what is sustainable over a loooong period of time.
Indeed, and the SD strips are a bit cheaper than the TEE2 ones, which does matter in the long and even medium run. The cost of the meter would be quite soon recouped. Personally I am wedded to the SEE@ because it requires a very small blood sample, and my Raynaud's makes providing any sample at all problematic at times.I believe @hichamgsm is in Morocco so that may be a problem. The SD Codefree meter available via Amazon is an alternative, it is not free but cheap and the test strips are less expensive than most.
I drink Robert Timms black coffee with no sugar, and with no noticeable raising in my bgls.I Often Drink Coffee Without Sugar
the Coffee is not suitable for diabetics, especially with milk ?

My coffee drinking is confined to before and during breakfast, where my staple diet of cheese omelettes with non carbiferous fillings such as mushrooms etc.Some research has suggested that drinking coffee dooubles the effect on BG of carbs consumed with it.

I also test my bgl before and after meals.
You do not have a link for the research to your statement, which would help your story to have a grain of truth.
Nothing in my post is / was discourteous, I just stated a fact that there was no link to back up your statement.Did you intend to be discourteous here?
"which would help your story to have a grain of truth" sounded discourteous to me, but I'm glad it was not intentional. Here is the link you requested:Nothing in my post is / was discourteous, I just stated a fact that there was no link to back up your statement.
Ii would be the soft drinks that are full of sugar that gets guzzled with a meal that would be the culprit.Less than concise piece of science reporting with "may" and "could" and the final paragraph... rich in carbs (ideal for a diabetic) with no mention as to what the caffeinated drink was... hope it wasn't Buckfast.
If caffeine is such a monster, then pin a copy of this to your fridge door"which would help your story to have a grain of truth" sounded discourteous to me, but I'm glad it was not intentional. Here is the link you requested:

So it looks the old Newcastle Brown diet is not the best to try.So does Newcastle Brown Ale. They have special psych wards for drinkers there. 80 pints make an LSD trip.
seems a little extreme @JohnEGreen .... though depends on how much 90% you put away.I think I will avoid eating 90 g of carbohydrate for breakfast and keep drinking coffee.
