COFFEE, BLOOD SUGAR and DIABETES - Friend or Enemy?

Coffee and Diabetes: Why the Same Cup Can Help OR Hurt Your Blood Sugar

If you have Type 2 diabetes and drink coffee every morning, here's what nobody's telling you, that same cup of coffee that prevents diabetes in healthy people can actually raise YOUR blood sugar by eight percent. After twenty years as an endocrinologist specializing in adults forty-five and older, I can tell you it's not the coffee itself that's the problem. It's ONE ingredient, and three common mistakes, that turn your morning routine into a blood sugar disaster.
In this video, I reveal why coffee works completely differently in a body with insulin resistance, and I show you exactly how to drink coffee the right way. Simple changes to your morning routine that can help you enjoy coffee without sabotaging your blood sugar control.
