A new study published in the journal Nutrients found that drinking coffee can significantly lower your blood sugar and improve type 2 diabetes.
But there’s a catch…
You have to drink it in a specific way or you lose all the benefits.
The study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2019 and 2021.
It included 7,453 adults aged 19 to 64 who were asked about their coffee intake over a 24-hour period.
Participants were categorized based on their coffee consumption: non-drinkers, those who consumed one cup per day, two cups per day, and those who drank three or more cups per day.
The types of coffee consumed were also recorded, with two main categories: black coffee and coffee with sugar and/or cream.
The study focused on several key markers of how well the participants’ bodies processed glucose:
-
● insulin resistance (measured by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, or HOMA-IR)
● fasting insulin levels
● fasting glucose.
By comparing these markers across different coffee consumption categories, the researchers aimed to identify any potential benefits of coffee on glucose control.
What they found was fascinating:
-
● Overall, people who drank two cups of coffee daily had a 23% lower risk of elevated insulin resistance.
● For those drinking black coffee specifically, even one cup or less per day was associated with a 26% reduction in insulin resistance.
● The benefits were much more pronounced in women than in men. Women who drank two cups of coffee showed a 27% improvement in insulin resistance.
● This benefit increased to 34% when women drank three or more cups of black coffee daily.
● Those who added sugar or cream to coffee lost these benefits.
● The researchers didn’t find significant changes in long-term blood sugar levels (HbA1c) from coffee drinking.
● No significant associations were found between coffee consumption and glucose metabolism markers in men.
Thus, if you are female and looking to improve your body’s insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, consider making black coffee part of your daily routine.
Start with one or two cups daily and skip the sugar and cream if possible.
But you don’t have to drink black coffee to reverse type 2 diabetes.
