Mannanon

Hi Lol,
Sorry, can't help you on the mannanon. I tried googling it but came up with nothing, and a search on the Revital site came up with no matches. Are you sure that is how it is spelled?

There are conflicting views about coffee and diabetes. Headlines in 2006 said "Coffee may protect against diabetes". More headlines in 2008 said "Coffee may make diabetes worse"

I think the vital clue in both articles is the word "may". What that means is they haven't a clue! You could just as easily say "if I flap my arms up and down hard enough I MAY be able to fly".

In my readings on caffeine (I consider myself a partly reformed addict) the general consensus of opinion seems to be that a good cup of strong coffee will cause your blood glucose readings to (and I quote) "swing wildly" ... being as prior to diagnosis (2 months and counting now) I was drinking a good 4 cans of sugarfree red bull every day plus 2-6 coffees, I would not be surprised if my overabuse of caffeine helped me on my way to diabetes.

I now use decaffeinated coffe (except for a Friday when I have one big strong java-lava caffeine-explosion) and throw cream in it to make it taste nice

You win some, you lose some
