My web md page says that coffee is good for women and it cuts down on cardiovascular heart disease for them, I have 2 cups each morning. with 2 splendas and 2 tsp. creme,a little insulin on the side:) ,and I aint a gonna stop!,if Im out of coffee I will drink hot tea
Since I started this topic, Iāve gone down in my intake of coffee, but I still wake up to a black coffee every morning and, when I get a chance, another one at some point during the day -typically after lunch. If it is a capuccino, I bolus to cover the milk in it, but otherwise it continues to not cause a spike in my BG.
Yeahā¦itās a sad, sad, sight when I donāt have my morning coffee. Itās mostly the first cup I craveā¦it tastes S-O-O-O GOOD!
Donāt even think about coming near me in the morning unless you have a mug of coffee in your hand for me, not a pretty sight, at least not till Iāve had 2 at least
Do any of you drink tea ? Maybe I should get outta here !
Yepā¦drink tea also! Usually right after lunchā¦L-O-V-E a good Earl Grey. The best wayā¦in a steaming hot tea pot. Sigh!!! Know what else is yummyā¦Chai teaā¦I usually do that one in the evening.
Green tea for lunch and coffee the rest of the day. I have type 2 and coffee didnāt make a scrap of difference to it, I used to drink at least ten to twelve cups a day but now about four or five, if I miss coffee for one day the migraines come back so more coffee for me.
Hey Aliceā¦a total lack of coffee will give me a migraine alsoā¦as will many other things, incidentally!
morning Linda, lack of chocolate for about three days also brings on the migraines, so there always a stash somewhere in the house and a pantry full of coffee. Lindt chocolate make a coffee flavoured one so I can have the best of both without the migraines. Its made with dark chocolate so it doesnāt bother the levels too much. Still havenāt heard from Flo.
Iāve always enjoyed dark bitter chocolate, but recently I have found that they trigger migraines (in me)ā¦sureā¦take something ELSE away! I too have not heard from Floā¦I sent her another message just today.
Morning Debbā¦A painless migraineā¦where can I buy one of those!!! The ācurvy white lightā sounds almost like an aura, doesnāt it! My migraines are often preceded with enhanced colours and sounds. The teas that you drinkā¦are they decaf., or herbal?
Iāve experienced similar patternsā¦swirly, a bit like an Indian print (as in from India)ā¦noā¦this was not an LSD trip! Anyhow, there was no colourā¦but shades of grey/beige. These too coming from the outside edge and sort of āradiatingā toward the centreā¦had it been in colour, it would have been rather pretty. Well, March break is unfortunately coming to a closeā¦back to the grind on Monday. Two weeks is just long enough to lull you into a sense of " akuna matada" (Remember the Lion King?!!)ā¦Itās a sense of being pulled between āI-could-do-this-forever/I-need-to-get-backāā¦anyhow, it allowed me to re-connect with some of my girlfriendsā¦meeting up with another lady this aft., but first, I might go for a little walkā¦nice day out there , a little crispā¦but with brilliant sunshineā¦take care on-line-girlfriendā¦luv, linda.
Ohā¦about the blueberry teaā¦Iāve had some, and didnāt care for itā¦but the natural health section of most big grocery lines will likely have itā¦as would health food stores.
try green tea in the morning, doesnāt seem to affect the levels to much
Hello, Coffee lovers
I found this coupon for Borders, a free 12 oz. beverage from Seattleās Best Coffee. VALID THROUGH 5/6/09
I drink coffe: 3 mugs of black coffee and the last at night I put some water in it . And I drink tea more than 3 mugs. I like Ceylan,Lapsang Souchong teas and white tea. I donāt think it affects my levels .
I am a macchiato addict! I am trying to switch to espresso (no cream, maybe a little splenda :)) but Iām a sucker for cream and sugar. I used to drink macchiati all day long, in between my classes. I am usually pretty ādonāt pollute the vesselā but when it comes to coffee the same rules do not apply! Havenāt noticed any huge affect on my bg anyway. There is always some ānew studyā about how ācoffee is evilā or ācoffee is the elixir of life.ā I tend to err on the side of ācoffee is the nectar of the gods.ā 
Thatās my story and Iām stickinā to it!
Sometimes I drink it instead of eating a snack to try and curb my appetite ! - sometimes I end up with a high blood sugar - not quite sure whether thats due to the sweetners I pop into it or due to some sort of a high carb milk that may be in the machine ! Canāt do the really nice ones like Latte - too much carb !
I drink a half a glass of warm or steamed mill (6g of carbs) and a very strong espresso every morning - I love coffee, and that usually keeps me happy. And then sometimes an ice coffee if someone brings me one laterā¦
Itās usually the layer coffee that seems to be more unpredictable as far as the glucose goes - I say stick with strong good coffee, skip the other five cupsā¦
