So, I have been asking all around and trying to do research to find out what the effects of coffee are on my blood sugar levels.  Some people say it doesn’t make a difference, some people tell me that the caffeine slows down the insulin, so when you eat while drinking coffee it will raise your blood sugar.

Well, I did the best research that anybody can do, and testing my sugars intensively on different occasions.  First, I ate breakfast while drinking coffee.  The results, my blood sugar levels stayed consistent, consistently normal that is.

Second, I ate without drinking any coffee to see how my sugars reacted to no coffee in my system.  Same results, everything was normal.

I then decided to drink coffee and not eat anything at all.  Today was the last day I did that and was all the proof that I needed for myself.  Pre-coffee level was 96, which was as soon as I woke up and the coffee was brewing.  At about 9:30 I just tested again and my sugar was 246!  What the hell happened there.  I have only one logical reasoning here.

When I am drinking coffee by itself, I do not calculate the amount of carbs I am taking in correctly and I do not take enough insulin and it makes my sugar go high.  When I am eating, the calculations are more precise and my sugar levels do not go crazy on me.  So from now on, I need to know for sure exactly how much insulin I need to take.

I use sugar free creamer and 2 sweet n’ low per cup of coffee.  Maybe my problem is not considering the insulin I should be taking for the sweet n’ low, or should I be?
