[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1938811"] In my experience the amount of cream has no effect, but the time spent consuming it does. I can drink a whole glass of double cream (in a smoothie) and it has no effect on my blood glucose. But I’ve experimented with small amounts throughout the day and found that it did elevate my glucose. I concluded that the drip-feeding of calories through the day was essentially snacking. It doesn’t cause a huge insulin response, but any eating (drinking cream?) does cause some insulin response. My conclusion was that it’s the same as snacking, and regardless of the macro type, we know that snacking is not optimal. I’m working at the extremes here and it’s not something to be concerned about. A few cups of coffee with cream per day won’t cause any rise, but it may do if you have twelve cups. According to my experiment on myself, at least. I’ve done it a few times with repeatable results. Amazing but true. I’m an engineer with too much time on my hands, so I like to try these things :) [/QUOTE]
