I noticed the difference between waking and pre breakfast readings the only thing having been taken into my system being Nespresso. Guess this meter lark is getting me to question everything.I seriously doubt your meter is accurate enough to show a 0.3 mmol diff..I would say that's no change. I love my nespresso and am currently on my third machine. Triple shot Americano with 2 tablespoons of double cream is my poison. One dark green lungo, one arpeggio (purple) and one vanillo topped up with just off boiling water.. having 2 per day. I don't think I could do without them and am going to try to include in my LCHF Newcastle Diet experiment.
0.3 ??????
The chances of your meter being accurate to one 1.0 mmol is virtually nonexistent.
I drink gallons of nespresso coffee and other stuff, but I can't say what effect it has on my BG as I can't be bothered to waste a strip to find out.
That's quite beneficial.. but as I say I don't think the coffee is causing much of a problem...enjoy it1Guess this meter lark is getting me to question everything.
Are you sure it's coffee and not the natural morning rise loads of us get? Coffee or no coffee I rise until at least noon.I always always get a spike from coffee. I drink medium roast ground coffee mid morning, and if I didn't bolus for it it can put me up by 3-4mmol/l before I can say 'more coffee please'.
The free coffee machine at the gym I go to can stave off an impending post-exercise low smartish. If my Libre tells me I'm on a downward curve (but not hypo) a gym coffee steadies me up nicely.
I've even been known to take my nespresso pixie on holiday with me! I bulk buy the proper capsules but eke them out with Lidl's ones, (which take much longer to go through).
I'll often have a cup mid-morning when I'm testing at 5.5-ish. That allows me to have a frothy milk cappuccino without guilt...
In my case I get no rise at elevenses if I don't have coffee!Are you sure it's coffee and not the natural morning rise loads of us get? Coffee or no coffee I rise until at least noon.
And what coffee do you use?Bloody Philistines the lot of you
Buy a mug with the metal strainer and grind your own beans, far better and cheaper than pods. I have a 600 GBP bean to cup machine sitting on my counter top which hardly gets used any more
And what coffee do you use?
It's very strange but on my cycling club forum we recently had this same debate, and I was just saying to my wife how on the cycling one almost everyone was looking at it from a cost perspective whereas here it was all about taste. Not to generalise, but cyclist=old grey beards, this forum we feel mortality close by and focus on the better things in life that we can get away with.
Edit: Forgot to say, that I too have a cup filter, just never been able to find a ground coffee to match Nespresso Kazaar.
That 20mins to make and drink coffee would give my a liver dump at breakfast time, maybe as high as another 2mmol/l without any drink. For me.Sorry for any confusions, I'm not claiming to have a really acurate meter. I noticed the difference between waking 6.1 to 6.3 and pre breakfast of 6.5 to 6.7 readings the only thing having been taken into my system being Nespresso. Guess this meter lark is getting me to question everything.
