Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 " Caffeine does not appear to affect blood sugar when consumed in moderate amounts. This is good news since many Canadians start their day with a cup of coffee. This does not mean that people with diabetes can consume excessive amounts of caffeine. Drinking caffeine in large amounts as coffee over a short period of time has been shown to raise blood sugar. Caffeine does this by enhancing the effect of two hormones (adrenaline and glucagon). These two hormones release stored sugar from the liver resulting in high blood sugar.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 AHA! I would call a whole pot of it a large amount, especially after so many years of no caffeine at all. Ok, that's better. The food shouldn't have, and never has, raised me that much in the past. Whew! thank you, CarolR SulaBlue wrote: " ...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Caffeine only raises my blood glucose in the am when the dawn effect is in full swing. Even one cup. I have white tea and that actually seems to help along with supplements and avoiding grains. Deb > " Caffeine does not appear to affect blood sugar when consumed > in moderate amounts.
