Coffee may make Diabetes worse

New reseach suggests daily consumption of caffeine in coffee, tea or soft drinks increases blood sugar levels for people with type 2 diabetes.

The researchwas carried out in the US, and the team suggested that cutting out caffeine from the diet may help diabetics control blood sugar levels, but UK experts said more research is required before advice could be given.

Another trial is planned in a larger number of patients to see if the results can be confirmed, and so help patients control their blood sugar levels. Dr Lane who is running the trial advised : "If patients are having trouble controlling their blood glucose and they are coffee drinkers, particularly heavy drinkers, they might want to give it a try to see if it makes a difference to them"

Cathy Moulton a care advisor at Diabetes UK, said "The best way to control glucose levels is through healthy eating and exercise".
