Come on, guys, it’s the only vice I have left!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cutting down on caffeine could help people with the most common form of diabetes better control their blood sugar levels, researchers said on Monday.
Giving caffeine to a small group of people with type 2 diabetes caused their levels of the blood sugar glucose to rise through the day, especially after meals, researchers at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, found.
“Caffeine appears to disrupt glucose metabolism in a way that could be harmful to people with type-2 diabetes,” James Lane, a Duke medical psychologist who led the study, said in a telephone interview.
If you really need to cut down, try cold brewing your coffee. When I switched to this method, I stopped drinking coffee that I hadn’t made and really didn’t notice the lack of it. I make up for it by drinking water.
But coffee decreases the risk of certain cancers and the risk of suicide. And being of Scandinavian descent, I am compelled - no, there must be a stronger word - driven? obligated at a molecular level? to drink the stuff.
I’m fairly certain that living could be proven harmful.
