This study involves caffeine and insulin. Two groups of men were used in this study. The first group was asked to drink a cup of regular coffee, the second group drank a cup of decaffeinated coffee.
An hour later they were given a bowl of low sugar cereal. The group that had the caffeine had blood sugar levels of about 250 times higher than the group that had the decaffeinated. They attribute this to the fact that caffeine interferes with our bodies being able to use insulin, making us temporarily insulin resistant which causes our blood sugar levels to rise dramatically.
With such a high spike in blood sugar levels it is advisable for the time being for diabetics and even pre-diabetics to avoid caffeine, especially in coffee, tea, and some soft drinks.
