Researchers: Coffee may make diabetes worse
Something else that you may want to remove (or cut down on) in your diet if your are a diabetic: coffee. According to new US research, "daily consumption of caffeine in coffee, tea or soft drinks increases blood sugar levels for people with type 2 diabetes." Here's more from the BBC:
Caffeine pills equivalent to four cups of coffee a day increased blood sugar levels by 8% over the day, US researchers report in Diabetes Care.
Cutting caffeine out of the diet may help diabetics control their blood sugar levels, the team said.
But UK experts said more research was needed before advice could be given.
The ten people who took part in the study were monitored with a tiny glucose monitor embedded under the skin.
The device meant that the researchers could track the effects of caffeine over 72-hours as the patients with type 2 diabetes went about their normal lives.
