Caffeine raising blood sugar
Hi Cheryl
I’m new to your group, have been an insulin-dependent diabetic for 33 years,
and live in Cape Town, South Africa. And yes, I too experience raised blood
sugar levels from caffeinated coffee - of course, there is a form of glucose
present in milk (lactose) so perhaps it is the lactose from the milk I add
to my coffee, but I don’t think so, because the increase in blood sugar is
often greater than warranted by the amount of milk I put in my coffee. So, I
assume caffeine must raise the blood sugar in some way, but why it does I
don’t know.
Regards
Guy
