Coffee can help people with type 2 diabetes. Coffee is a good source of antioxidants and can help regulate blood sugar levels. However, what you add to your coffee makes a difference. Adding sugar, cream, or flavored syrups can increase the number of calories and carbohydrates. If you have diabetes, it is important to talk to your doctor or dietitian about how coffee can fit into your overall treatment plan.

Coffee without added sugar or cream does not effect blood sugar levels in people with type two diabetes. However, caffeine affects every person differently. For some people with diabetes, about 1 to 2 cup of plain coffee can lower or increase blood sugar levels. Therefore its always recommended to limit caffeine intake to recommendation amount which is 400 mg per day.

No, it cannot help people with type 2 diabetes as it can raise blood sugar and insulin levels for those with the disease. A study looked at people with type 2 diabetes who took a two hundred and fifty milligram caffeine pill at breakfast and another at lunchtime. This is because caffeine can affect how your body responds to insulin.
