[QUOTE="alex200274, post: 326240, member: 23145"] Funny how all of sudden I'm finding quite a lot if info on the subject. Can't believe in 22 years of being diabetic and all my health visits I was never told that caffiene could cause issues with my blood sugar levels. Link below: [url=http://www.livestrong.com/article/398786-does-caffeine-affect-diabetes/]http://www.livestrong.com/article/39878 ... -diabetes/[/url] I also headroom the gym and sometimes a hypo can occur but also read caffiene can help reduce that prior to any strenuous excercise, never realised this.... 'While in most circumstances caffeine should be used in moderation to prevent spikes in blood sugar, its effect on the body may be helpful in certain situations. Exercise can make blood sugar levels drop dangerously low. However, the American Diabetes Association, suggests that type one diabetics who take 5 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight half an hour before exercising may be able to prevent hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline, which in turn causes glucose to say in the bloodstream longer. At this stage much more research is needed to fully determine the benefits of caffeine before exercise' [/QUOTE]
