Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="alex200274" data-source="post: 326227" data-attributes="member: 23145">On google I searched for 'caffeine blocks insulin' and quite a lot of results were returned. The majority of articles state that Type 1 diabetics should avoid caffeine as it makes insulin less responsive, causing sugars to rise. I can't believe I never knew this or was never advised to avoid caffeine. I assume there must be a threshold one has to induce before it impacts your control, otherwise would one need to abstain from all forms of caffiene (including soft drinks etc)? I'm guessing if my sugars are spiking due to coffee intake then assume this is a symptom/reaction that can only be remedied by not drinking coffee (caffeine)- which is depressing as I love coffee!!</blockquote>
