I am diabetic and drink black coffee every morning and during the day and evening sometimes. I don’t feel my blood sugar going up after drinking coffee.
I used to drink 2 pots a day (black) and could sleep like a baby, so I doubt my 2-3 cups (my limit now) a day bothers my blood sugar. Thanks for the info Dr. Engin. I got my A1C down from 12 to 6.5 in like 4 months. I have been having problems recently with protein in my urine and I figured out I wasn't drinking enough water. Now I feel fine, so what I thought was a Diabetes problem was a lack of hydration problem. DRINK WATER FOLKS, lots of water, not Gatorade.
@@joykitten89 Try the Caffeine free coffee beans its the caffeine that affects the adrenaline in our bodies that causes this. I don't think everyone is affected as much by this as some people like you are. A good caffeine free bean still taste good. SMILE
Hello Dr. I love what you said about coffee. I have diabetes and I take pills for it. I eat avocado and an egg in the morning and I drink Arabic coffee, which I love. The cups are not big. I love the way you make me understand about my situation. Thank you so much

Hi Doctor. I am a 34 y.o type 2. I have lost all hope up until I saw your channel. It motivates me. And makes my hope spike. If you know what I mean. Thank you for all your work. I look forward to getting my blood sugar in control.
I have tried everything and my doctor just drives me crazy with more pills,,after watching this video I must see changes..can't understand how a doctor would give patients 5 different pills at same time....under heaven how would they know which one is working,,am.tired of the TRICKS of medication,,my doctor gave me trulicity and it didn't drop my blood sugar it raised my blood sugar and yet she wants to give me an HIGHER dose,, really, this ANGERED me...if it didn't work it just didn't, so the higher dose was just a weapon of mass destruction,, well am gonna do what this dr is say..thanks much
Thanx for the info. I never used to have problems with cofee but since less than 1 month i have noticed that i need between 4 to 6 units of insulin just to have black coffee without sugar in the morning. And then i exercise for at least 30 mins. I will try something else then.
Drink lemon water before or after taking your coffee and carbs, and don't forget to drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water daily to clean your system of any excess sugar and toxins.
Hi doctor, before I have my first cup 🍵 I drink apple cider vinegar with water and then I have my coffee with heavy cream with 1tsp. Stevia and have no problem with spikes!! You are my official house doctor although, we never met!! My doctor here in Munich Germany says that all your advice is the correct way to beat diabetes and that I should continue your advice. My a1c was 8.8 in end July 2021 and now at end of September my average fasting blood sugar has dropped to 6.1 and I have lost 15pounds. Size 10 now size 8. It took me to be diagnosed with diabetes to really take my health seriously and also I'm loving my new figure!!
Dr Amed, I basically stumbled on your videos, thank goodness. I live in the Canary Islands, and there is really no help for diabetics, and what to eat, not to eat, apart from being diagnosed, and told to not have anything with sugar in it, and to read all packaged foodstuff for sugar content. Nothing about carbs, very little about oils/fats, so you will understand my long hard suffering with high sugar readings, frustrations, and all sorts of complications like foot ulcers, etc. Since listening to your videos, for the 1st time in 12 years of diabetes, my readings have been really good and more consistent for a week now . Big, big thank you, I am so grateful for your information. I am now purchasing everything fresh. No more pre-packed foods, nothing out of bottles, tins, etc. No more foods marked "suitable for diabetics". Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I started having real blood sugar issues about 9 months ago, after being hospitalized in Nov I had to really get everything under control. My fasting is now running about 115 and I drink coffee with just a very small amount of half and half all day. I have almost completely cut out diet drinks and for the first time in my life without help I'm staying the same weight or losing. Thought: in the studies that showed coffee somewhat prohibiting diabetes did they control for the diet sodas? I would be very interested to find that out.
Hypertension, anxiety, paranoia and confusion are the things that I get from coffee. Didn't even knew that it also raises blood sugar. Not even weed gives such side effects.
Coffee has been my favorite flavor since I was 4 years old, and I still crave coffee today. As a toddler, I never cared for milk, so my father flavored my morning milk with a few inches of coffee, which made it palatable. Sunday mornings, my father treated me to a whole cup of coffee. I was diagnosed with T1D in 1963, and always start my day with five or six cups of coffee, sweetened with Sucralose and flavored with unsweetened almond milk or 1% milk. I have worn a CGM for years and wear the t:slim pump with Control IQ, so I know that I am affected by the dawn phenomenon. BG rises without eating anything, so I have programmed a higher early morning basal rate to compensate. Coffee raises BG too. Occasionally, I treat a hypo with a glass of 1% coffee-flavored milk. Coffee-flavored items, including Kahlua and Tia Maria liqueurs, coffee ice cream and coffee candy are my downfall, so I rarely purchase these items anymore. I could devour a carton of coffee ice cream in one sitting. Trader Joe's has a 45-calorie cold-brew Latte dessert bar if anyone is looking for a low-calorie coffee treat. After a run on a 90-degree summer day, it's hard not to eat all six bars.
I started drinking cafe o lait at age five! During my adult life I had a put full of coffee; for the past 10 years I have instant coffee (very little) with almond milk !!
I'm type 2 as so far my sugar is controlled with metformin. Past A1C has been about 6.6. The doc told me the 2 worst things were bagels and pizza so have that rarely. I have coffee every morning and I think my problem is I use the snickers creamer plus a little half and half. OK will try to lower the amount. Thanks for the video.
I only drink black coffee, and I find no negative effects at all. In fact, black home made cold brew coffee is my go to drink at home. Maybe one day you can look into Guinness stout. I can have 4-6 pints in a night and my blood sugar is fine. One doctor told me that it's the diabetic's beer. I'm really trying to get information on this.
I am not diabetic as of yet so I watch my diet well .I drink 1 cup mushroom coffee with arabica which has half the caffeine I make with whole milk latte and 1 pk stevia and drink slowly or with breakfast . I consider this a treat and keeps coffee in moderation yet I still get benefits 🤗☕🌅

I am doing a marathon view of all your videos. Thank you so much for your info. Very great help, doc! Last March 2022, I had a boil in my back and it was then that i found out that i have type 2 diabetis. I underwent a debridement surgery. I have to keep my sugar down and it is quite a challenge! The mental stress is as difficult as the diabetis itself. You know....trying to find the right food, the thought of whether i will die or have another complication. Again thank you so much for your videos!
@@TheIndianscout , I had a boil. It was not healing and keeps on getting bigger. I went to the doctor and so laboratories and other tests were given to me.....that is when i found out i have diabetis. What did the boil have to do with diabetis? Healing of wounds and boils is affected when sugar is high. My infection at that time is very high.
I have been drinking coffee since young and recently I realized that even black coffee without sugar without food after waking up, spikes my blood glucose. I’m one of the unlucky few and it does make me sad. Apple cider vinegar does the same thing to me, even on an empty stomach. Oh well, u win some, u lose some.
I agree, coffee raises my BG in the morning close to 40 mg/dl with no sugar and or carbs. Even with coverage of insulin due to the dawn phenomenon. At night or past 4pm, a coffee will raise but my insulin resistance is much lower and its only like 5 to 10 mg/dl. I keep my glucose lower to around 80s to lower my overall insulin resistance as well. Non diabetic humans have fasting BG in the mid to low 80s assuming they are healthy.
Hi Dr. Saw you the first time with sweet potatoes, it does not matter how you cook it, your sugar will go up. I thought if you ate veggies your sugar would be the same. But then I heard dr McDougall say when you eat your insulin will go up. So when I got up my sugar was 5.3, so I wanted to see if coffee raises my sugar, so .ow & behold after black coffee, no sugar it went to 7.3 I was shock. I have to try water next to see what happens.
When you said that saturated fat increases insulin resistance I scoffed because a lot of people are saying (on the internet) that saturated fat does not raise blood sugar levels. Explain how saturated fat causes insulin resistance. Thank you.
Hi doctor, am from the philippines and we used coffee in sachet called 3N1, Sugar, coffee and creamer. Is it good to drink it every morning or decaffeinated coffee. My sugar 106 or almost in boundary. Thank you and have a nice day.
To be truthful am ADDICTED to coffee so am gonna cut down the amount and see ,,AM NOT overnight and my BLOOD sugar levels are a problem..A1C is 8.8 and my doctor wants to add RYBELSUS watching the ads on tv and see the side effects telling you that someone is planning your funeral.....am so tired,,,they dont STOP the rest of medication but they are adding...I REFUSED to plan my funeral with these medicines...I just think that some of these doctors are just protecting their salary and their careers..God help us....let's be wise,,right on this VIDEOS let's get what we can and can what we get,,,hope this doctor continue,,,love this video...
If you blend your coffee with a couple of small leaves of lettuce in the Vitamix or with chia seeds, it may lessen the spike. A good blender will make it so that the mouth feel won't be so notably different. The chia seeds will make your coffee quite a bit thicker though. The couple of lettuce leaves is a good way to get some Vitamin C.
Hello doc I mentainance medicine milk tea I drink every day milk tea no problem to drink.thanks for information god bless I'm waching from Riyadh Saudi
Hey doc, my blood sugar levels are from 150 - 215 in morning when just waking up. I noticed that if consume alcohol the night before that my levels are from 105-140. Why is this? I am using a a True Metrix 60 unit and I don’t believe that it is accurate.
I drink decaf coffe with a lot of fresh milk (freshly extracted from carabao) . I wiil check my blood sugar if it spikes after drinking it. Thank you Dr. Ergin.

ALOHA doctor! wow, sharing to us your knowledge how to control our normal sugar level is so wonderful and helpful. I already watch your other video’s doctor and I will follow those procedures always. 👍 good luck and MAHALO…
One question Doc, is pure black coffee safe in the morning? I mean after drinking one glass of water, could I follow it up with a pure black coffee with no sugar and creamer and will it raise my blood sugar? Thank you in advance.
Nice video, I put on my Freestyle Libre 14days glucose sensor with NightRider! It's so good because 1) It shows if your sugars are trending up or down. 2) Give alarms if you go too low or too high. It is an amazing tool.
Before being diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic, I was obese and a good friend advised to have 1,250 mg green tea extract + 200 mg caffeine first thing in the morning . So I've been taking these pills for maybe 2 years. Do you think that those pills have contributed to my diabetes?

My fasting glucose level in the morning is 105. I have tested my glucose levels many times before and after drinking black coffee (without anything), My glucose levels tested 01 hour after drinking coffee have always GONE DOWN. Is it so strange ??? Please answer me ! Thank you !!!
Hi doc. How about a coffee substitute like instant barley? I saw this powdered barley from the grocery store and was thinking to replace this one for my morning drink. Thank you.
My serum suger is very control in day time. But after light meal in night moning suger is over 150. I am taking metformin sr 1g mn, gliglazide sr60 mn, glimpridine 1mg day aftet lunch. Acarbose 50mg tds.

Hi doctor, I drink Yerba mate early a.m. then coffee plain, then more Yerba , type two , no. Is about 125 in the morning , take glipicide and metforman er 500mg at 1pm then no. Is 85 mid day , good or not?
Doc: The caffeine in the coffee causes Insulin Resistance, doesn't raise blood sugar directly. Took me some years to figure this out, but when I would have coffee with a meal, (Breakfast) the food, even if it was low carb / low sugar, an Insulin response would occur because of the food and the cells would not accept the proteins and vitamins (nutrients) due to the Insulin Resistance caused by the caffeine. Thus the glucose levels would rise and remain higher until the caffeine left the body. Plus I love coffee and would have an equivalent of maybe 6-8 cups per day which would include large ice coffees in the summer time. Never with sugar, always black or with some heavy cream, and sometimes with lunch, and glucose levels remained higher than normal. Now I practice intermittent fasting and would only have a very small cup of black coffee 1st thing in the morning, get the adrenaline rush, and would not eat until later in the day. By then the caffeine would wear off and when I do eat, the insulin response would move the nutrients into the cells and my glucose levels would be back to a low safe normal level within a few hours. Plus the best part of this, I am no longer addicted to caffeine!!! I can survive on just the 1 small cup in the morning like mother nature intended =p
Wow.. that's I want to hear, with my type2 diabetes, I have a single espresso every morning and every day. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you all.
I drink black coffee about 6 times a day , I don't have sugar and only buy decaf coffee . I've never had any problems with my blood sugar spiking after drinking it.
Sorry. Yes I conment that triglycerides and cholesterol go up drinking coffe. Some coffe drinkers that wanted to drink decaf instead have bad reacxions. Against it. Like headaches.
Love your video content. Very interesting … was wondering about decaf? I can’t have caffeine due to A-Fib, therefore all I drink is my morning DECAF coffee (3cups with cream or half n half, no sugar) and water the rest of the day. I don’t spike after drinking it. I may go up to 117-120. Does that sound ok? I usually don’t eat breakfast, but have a brunch or lunch. I’m pre-diabetic, insulin resistant, hypothyroid and have a history of A-Fib. Thank you for caring and sharing!
I just purchased your Advanced Blood Sugar Support. It seems to be a good formula (for what I know) but why is there no chromium or cinnamon in it? Do one of those ingredients replace those somehow or work better? Thank you Dr. Ergin for this and ALL your help.
My gut feeling is that coffee is an artificial stressor ( cortisol and epinephrine inducer) crhonic use gets the body isulin resistant and confuses the body as energy is FORCED to stay in the blood and not stored in liver , but if you do not use the energy and the glucose continualy floats in tthe bloodstream what do you do!?
Good teaching doctor. Please my question is NOT about the above teaching. Please can diabetic and high blood pressure patients who is on both metformin and amlodipine take ASPIRIN???????? I want to know if aspirin is good for such person. Thanks
