According to Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao", researchers at the Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina, USA, found that caffeine causes an increase in blood sugarlevels in patients with type 2 diabetes , a response that is particularly pronounced after a meal. Ryan, a medical psychologist at the medical center, said: "Caffeine seems to disrupt glucose metabolism and cause harm to people with type 2 diabetes."
The team looked at 10 patients with a mean age of 63 years with type B diabetes and embedded micro-glyce monitors on their abdominal skin to measure changes in their blood glucose levels. The researchers found that when these diabetics took four caffeine pills equal to four cups of coffee, their daily blood sugar levels were 8% more than when they took four placebos. Previously, there have been reports that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but this latest study seems to have overturned this conclusion.
Ryan believes that caffeine can affect blood sugar levels for two reasons: one is that caffeine interferes with the process of blood transporting glucose to muscles and other cells in the body; the other is that caffeine stimulates the release of hormone adrenaline, leading to blood sugar levels. Raise. Ryan said that people with diabetes should probably avoid drinking caffeinated beverages . In addition to coffee, tea and a lot of soda contain caffeine.
