Information found online about the role of coffee on blood sugar or diabetes can often cause confusion.
This is because there are claims that although coffee may offer some benefits for diabetics, it may have a negative impact on blood sugar.
What experts explain is that coffee contains many different substances.
Some of them have a beneficial effect on the health of a diabetic while others can have a negative impact.
Caffeine, for example, has a short-term impact on insulin.
How does coffee affect blood sugar levels?
Researchers' data show that high caffeine consumption over a one-month period affects insulin sensitivity in diabetics.
The higher the coffee consumption, the lower the insulin sensitivity.
Decaffeinated coffee, the best choice?
Since caffeine affects insulin sensitivity, experts believe that decaffeinated coffee is the best option for people suffering from diabetes.
In the absence of caffeine, this coffee offers many positive health benefits for a diabetic.
Among other things, people who suffer from diabetes or are at risk for it should minimize their exposure to sugar, because it dramatically increases blood glucose levels.
As a result, coffee should also be drunk with as little sugar as possible.
Coffee and diabetes prevention
A 2009 study involving 40,000 people, referenced by AgroWeb.org, found that consuming three cups of tea or coffee (decaffeinated) per day reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 40 percent.
Another 2014 study showed that coffee consumption reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes by 11 percent over a 4-year period.
Coffee contains polyphenols that act as antioxidants that prevent inflammatory diseases.
Furthermore, coffee contains magnesium and chromium. These minerals significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes./ AgroWeb.org
