Coffee makes my blood sugar high. I was reading someone else's blog about a month ago and it mentioned that coffee raised their blood sugar. When I read that, it immediately rang true to me. I usually have a cup or two each morning to get the day started off right. Lately though, after some "experimenting" of my own, I have found that this is absolutely the case for me. I'll drink a few cups over the course of a couple hours and then I test high each time. Coffee seems to be the "only" explanation for that.

I don't really pride myself on being a coffee drinker though. I started "using" about a year back even though I had always been against it. I am too much of a worry-wart. I always pictured myself with coffee stained teeth and bad breath because of it. Plus, I don't take part in too many "unhealthy" things and nobody seems to know if it's healthy for you or not. Every once in a while I'll see a report from some "research team" at some college in another country that says, "Experts from the University of Coffee say a cup each morning is healthy for your libido" or something off-beat like that. I DON'T KNOW!? I just don't want to be "addicted" to anything that is going to raise my blood sugar, even if the stuff is REALLY AWESOME! And the most discouraging thing to me is that even decaf makes me hyperglycemic! It's bad enough not being able to "get my fix" each morning, now I am even scared to drink "unleaded".

PLEASE someone tell me, who is a real expert that I am only imagining this! If you have never heard of "hyperglycemic coffee" then I might suggest that you look into if for yourself.
