Diabetics must be very careful with food as well as fluids.
They should give up processed sweets and other refined carbohydrates, which significantly increase sugar levels.
On the other hand, there are some everyday foods and drinks that are impossible to avoid so easily.
Millions of people around the world are more relaxed when it comes to caffeinated drinks because, unlike sugar, caffeine is supposed to be less harmful to diabetics.
Are caffeinated drinks safe for diabetics?
Studies have shown that caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity and increases blood sugar levels in people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
A 2017 study explained that caffeine increases glucose levels and keeps them high for a long time.
This doesn't seem like a good thing, and yet other studies suggest that some aspects of caffeine may be beneficial for people suffering from diabetes.
If you don't suffer from diabetes, experts say you shouldn't give up coffee.
A 2014 study found that drinking two cups a day reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes by 12 percent.
According to researchers, both coffee and tea have additional value due to antioxidants that protect the body and increase the immune system's defense capabilities.
Green tea in particular may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes because it is rich in antioxidants.
Furthermore, this tea is very good for weight loss because obesity is a problem for diabetics.
The best and worst drinks for diabetics
Carbonated and caffeinated drinks should not be consumed, say specialists.
These drinks have more sugar than caffeine.
A soda has 37 grams of sugar or 9 teaspoons of sugar and only 33 milligrams of caffeine.
Drinks with artificial sweeteners increase the risk of metabolic diseases and type 2 diabetes.
Energy drinks or those drinks that claim to have vitamins are the most terrible. A simple can contains at least 27 grams of sugar and 28 grams of carbohydrates, becoming a real horror for diabetics and not only.
On the other hand, vitamins and minerals are better obtained through food and not pseudo-healthy drinks.
The right amount of caffeine for diabetics and not only
When it comes to quantity, it is not the same for everyone.
Blood sugar levels rise differently from one person to another, so it's up to people to keep an eye on the portions and amounts of drinks they consume and the consequences they leave behind.
Regular coffee drinkers should also keep their cholesterol under control.
It is certain that if you like coffee, your cholesterol level is high./ AgroWeb.org
