It’s the first thing many of us reach for in the morning. Ever felt jittery or "off" after coffee and wondered why?
You might ask, "What is this coffee really doing to my blood sugar?" Let’s uncover the real story together.
Yes, coffee can cause a blood sugar spike—but mostly temporary, not permanent. Let’s dive into how it really works.
Caffeine jolts your body, prompting the liver to release stored sugar for a quick energy boost.
Caffeine temporarily makes cells a bit stubborn, making insulin’s job harder to clear sugar from your blood.
This blood sugar spike is short-term. It’s not a sign you’re developing long-term health issues from coffee.
Long-term studies show regular coffee drinkers often have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes due to antioxidants—surprising, right?
Never, ever drink your coffee on an empty stomach to better manage blood sugar spikes after your cup.
A 15-minute walk after coffee or switching to decaf can greatly reduce blood sugar spikes and boost wellness.
Everyone’s body reacts differently to caffeine, shaped by unique genetics and lifestyle factors—listen to your own body.
Understanding your body helps you make smart coffee choices that support your health and prevent surprises.
