Coffee and Diabetes


I admit it....I love coffee, but there seems to be a lot of speculation surrounding whether or not coffee is beneficial for people who have diabetes. Through research, I came to the conclusion that because everyone reacts differently to caffeine, there is no sure way to tell whether caffeine has a positive or negative impact on blood sugar levels. I was intrigued to find that regular consumption of coffee can help to prevent diseases such as: Type 2 Diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, and liver cancer. The only serious downfall to drinking coffee is becoming dependent on it and this is due to drinking coffee in excess. Personally, my blood sugar levels are only impacted when I get coffee outside my home because they use soy milk with added sugar. Thankfully, when I am at home drinking a cup of coffee with my momma, it has little to no affect.
