Some studies suggest that drinking coffee — whether caffeinated and decaffeinated — may actually reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you already have diabetes, however, the impact of caffeine on insulin action may be associated with higher or lower blood sugar levels.Doesn't say if the blood sugar rise was due to the muffin they ate with their coffee or if they stopped at Starbucks for one of their Grande spiced pumpkin lattes (the adult equivalent of a milkshake!).
Or if those feeling tired because they are suffering from undiagnosed diabetes might drink coffee to help them through.
Coffee is my drug of choice so I am biased to disagree with this contention so on its side I can see that it raises the stress hormones which could cause a rise in blood sugar but the ideas that it 'causes type 2' is non sensical!
Can't read the article but I gather it's about coffee. Coffee is a bit like bread - no one wants to quit it, and everyone will defend it to the death. Ergo addicted. I'm a huge fan myself, but no longer drink it because it was starting to feel like a bit of a crutch. Being teetotal, coffee was my last vice.
I am also now dairy-free, which isn't compatible with how I liked my coffee. I miissed it for a while but life is so much easier just eating animals, and drinking room temperature bottled water. But that's all just personal choice. One potential thing to be aware of is that, for some, coffee can markedly increase triglycerides, which of course may not be optimal.
I guess the question is... does it cause a short term elevation in triglycerides (During the testing time and for a few hrs afterwards perhaps) or is it a long term thing or an individual reaction to caffeine?
That, sir, I do not know. I read that it’s not the caffeine, though, as the effect can occur also with decaffeinated.

Any chance your period of fasting put you into ketosis (fat burning)? That also increases LDL levels and TG since you would be moving extra lipid materials around the house. Cholesterol is really only the delivery system for fat. It is an essential requirement for life - we cannot live by glucose alone.I think it did for me. Morning of blood test after a night of fasting, fuzzilly, I had 2 decaffs, my TG’s went way higher. Quite concerned until I read up about it.
What I meant by fasting is just a night sleep of 8 hrs (I had a snack before sleeping) as I wasn't yet on a specific diet so I don't know if it was ketosis (which means I would've have to have been on lower carbs for a while,yes?) Also to be fair, I wasn't paying much attention to my food at that time so yes, case not proven for caffeineAny chance your period of fasting put you into ketosis (fat burning)?

Case for caffeine not proven. Decaff is even less caffeine!
PS I just had same effect on my tests and also fasted all day for it. Definitely in ketosis in my case.
Many doctors do not understand what cholesterol actually does in the body. TG varies greatly as we eat, exercise, or fast. If you are losing weight, and it is coming from the adipose fat not the muscles, then you are transporting lipids in LDL trucks. So a low glucose count will increase the likelihood of raising TC because of this mainline (oops) traffic.What I meant by fasting is just a night sleep of 8 hrs (I had a snack before sleeping) as I wasn't yet on a specific diet so I don't know if it was ketosis (which means I would've have to have been on lower carbs for a while,yes?)
