Hi Tim, I drink 2 or 3 cups of coffee with caffeine every morning. Other people cannot have caffeine. Each individual is different.

I drink tons of caffeine and my sugars have been far lower than they had been when I was diagnosed. I'm pretty much staying in the range of 95-150 now. But then I've also been sucking down caffiene in large quantities since I was just a wee little thing, too. So I may just be immune to the effects now. My body seems to adapt to things fairly quickly... probably the reason I ran around with undiagnosed asthma into my 30's. Aazari The Art of Jolie E.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hiya caffeine consumers! Drink the stuff. A lot of the stuff. Love the stuff. When diagnosed, cut out putting sugar, honey, in fact most sweeteners (no particular reason, just don't quite like the way saccharine, splenda and nurtrisweet taste), switched to non-fat (or unsweetened soymilk at home) as the whitener, drank more tea (which I drink " straight " anyway). But I kept getting mystery spikes -- only at work. Turns out it was the non-dairy creamer I'd used at work (no milk there -- costs too much, too much of a hassle when the night crew leaves it out overnight and it turns bad). A teaspoon of the stuff has, what, one gram of carbohydrate, but it would be good for lifting me as much as 30 or 40 mg/dL! Caffeine in drinks doesn't affect my blood gluose very much if at all, but this is definitely one of those " your mileage may vary " areas! Leone, rleone@... " Only you can prevent long sig files.
