Caffeine and diabetes: helpful or harmful?


The culture of the body of research suggests that caffeine affect glucose metabolism and can contribute to the development and poor control of diabetes type 2, a public health problem. A magazine article in the first edition of the journal of research of caffeine: the international daily caffeine multidisciplinary science, a quarterly magazine from the publishers of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., examines the latest evidence contradicting previous studies which suggests a protective effect of caffeine.

James Lane, Ph.d., Duke University, described the many studies have demonstrated the potential of caffeine to increase resistance to insulin (intolerance to glucose) in adults who have not diabetes, an effect that might be more likely to develop the disease in susceptible individuals. In adult patients with diabetes type 2, studies have shown that the increase of blood glucose levels that occurs once they eat carbohydrate is exaggerated if they also consume a drink with caffeine like coffee. This effect may contribute to higher levels of glucose in people with diabetes and could jeopardize the treatment to control your blood glucose.

Review of Dr. Lane of the element gives the clearest account so far of what we know, we know the step and what can be done in an emergency!
