<DIV>Can Coffee Lower Your Blood Sugar Levels?</DIV>

<DIV>A new study suggests that a cup of coffee a day may help you manage your
Type 2 diabetes, according to a </DIV>
<DIV>Medical Daily</DIV>
<DIV>report. (Of course, the study was funded by the National Coffee
Association, which is a pretty pro-coffee research group.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The long-term study, published in the </DIV>
<DIV>International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences,</DIV>
<DIV>measured the blood sugar levels of 90 people with Type 2, 48 of whom were
regular coffee drinkers. This was part of a larger study examining the
effects</DIV>
<DIV>of coffee on long-term health.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After 16 years, coffee drinkers with Type 2 had 20 percent lower blood
sugar levels than non-coffee drinkers with Type 2, according to the research
findings.</DIV>
<DIV>(This improvement is so strikingly large that one can only hope it will be
replicated in future studies.) Researchers believe coffee helps combat
insulin</DIV>
<DIV>resistance because it is filled with an an antioxidant called </DIV>
<DIV>chlorogenic</DIV>
<DIV>acid, which may slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is a cottage industry of research to make us feel good about drinking
coffee, and sometimes the results can seem too good to be true. (After
all,</DIV>
<DIV>coffee drinkers don’t live forever.) More research will probably be needed
before doctors regularly prescribe coffee for people with diabetes who are
having</DIV>
<DIV>trouble with blood sugar control.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Still if you are a regular coffee drinker, and you drink this magic elixir
in moderation, think of this study’s findings next time you take your
first</DIV>
<DIV>sip in the morning.</DIV>
