Coffee and Diabetes

Normal Coffee Does Have It’s Benefits Also

I never used to drink coffee. As a Soldier I did. It was the life blood of getting through the stag, wake up call after a stand too. However, once I left the Army, I didn’t really buy coffee. More of a Tea man myself. Then I came across SlimRoast Coffee and that not only saved my life but changed my whole outlook on Coffee and Diabetes.

Coffee was in the past said to have negative effects on your health. However, over time there is upcoming evidence that coffee may protect the body from liver diseases, Parkinson’s disease, depression, certain kinds of cancer and diabetes. In this newsletter, we specifically focus on Diabetes.

Research over time has shown that increasing your coffee intake may tremendously lower your risk developing diabetes. Specifically type 2 diabetes. This is without doubt good news to those people who have to take coffee on a daily basis. However, coffee could have fatal effect to those who have type 2 diabetes.

Either way, whether you have diabetes, trying to lower your chances of developing diabetes or even a person who cannot face the day without a cup of coffee; it is very important to learn on the effects coffee has on diabetics.

What is diabetes?

Scientists and doctors define diabetes as a disease (or combination of diseases) that alters the way your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Blood glucose is essential because it is the source of energy that fuels the brain, tissues and muscles. In the case of a diabetic, it means that they have too much blood sugar in circulation within your circulatory system. This causes serious unwanted health concerns.

There are several types of diabetes. The most common are type 1 and type 2. Other types are gestational diabetes; that occurs though rarely during pregnancy in women but goes away after delivery, Prediabetes; which implies that your blood sugar is higher than the normal though it cannot be termed as diabetes.

Diabetes has major signs and symptoms though not all of them are uniquely related to diabetic cases. They include, unexplained loss of weight, increased thirst and fatigue. In case you experience any of these symptoms, it is always good to consult your doctor for diagnosis.

Coffee as a possible inhibitor of diabetes.

Coffee benefits on diabetes differs from person to person. Research has found out that people who take more than seven cups of coffee per day lower the risk of developing the type 2 diabetes compared Consuming none or less than two cups of coffee a day. It should be noted that caffeinated (but not decaffeinated) coffee is much more protective against type 2 diabetes in women than men.

Coffee and Blood glucose levels.

Note that coffee has many different chemicals. Some are beneficial while others have minimal benefits. Caffeine impairs insulin in the short run.

Repeated consumption of caffeine in huge amounts, over a one month period has proved to impair insulin in the blood of people with type 2 diabetes. The relationship between consumption of caffeine in high amounts and lower insulin sensitivity is a typical response mechanism by the body. This means that caffeine will have fatal effects on the people with diabetes type 2.

This topic, on Coffee and diabetes has many aspects that must be considered. Caffeine has both positive and negative effect on the body. This depends on the diabetes status of the user. Caffeine is not healthy for people with diabetes type 2.
