Doc, can you talk about these alternatives to Coffee ☕️ like Mushroom 🍄 Coffee? Are they Legit ???

[@leoncountytoday]

I am 80 years old and have lost 73 lbs in the last four years by quitting bread and all high glycemic foods. During that time I also shed type II D, acid reflux, gout, high B/P and what seemed like bone on bone arthritis. My weight loss of two lbs a month has stalled now and I am being knocked out of ketosis every morning without consuming a single carb. You have presented the first sensible explanation I have found. Thank you. So many of our health problems seem to stem from inadequate information. You are doing great work with concise information. Thank you. Coffee is as addicting as carbs. I intend to face that addiction as squarely as I did the carb and bread addictions.

Just exercise after your coffee to use up the rising glucose. You don’t have to be in ketosis 24/7. I also conquered type II,acid reflux,high B/P and joint pain through a ketogenic diet. They don’t come back even if I am not in ketosis 24/7. Exercise is truly the key to great health

[@totomarnantokadri3717]

I am 71 years old, and had diabetes for about 25 years. I also enjoy coffee, I regulary check my blood glucose, with glucometer. As long as there is no sugar or sweetener in the coffee, it does not cause blood sugar to go up. Just drink and enjoy the coffee as it is, don't add anything, including milk. I also now avoid carbohydrate consuption, in meals and drinks.

As a pre-diabetic, caffeinated coffee or tea used to have the opposite effect on me, especially if I drank a cup of coffee on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. My blood sugar would crash, causing all kinds of hypoglycemic complications, including lightheadedness, weakness, shakiness, sweating, extreme hunger, and anxiety. As soon as I would eat something, especially containing sugar, I would start to recover within minutes. One time after drinking coffee in a cafe during a long fast, I almost passed out and came close to going into a comma. It took my body about 3 weeks to fully recover from that episode. I stopped drinking coffee after that, but have recently started back on decaffeinated coffee.

I've been drinking plain black coffee for all my life. Every single day. My blood sugar readings are always perfectly normal according to the results of my annual blood work. I think you may be speaking of coffee with adjuncts such as dairy and refined sugar. There must be more in play here, not simply the caffeine, otherwise my blood sugars would be way off! 😀 I'm 65, almost 66.

Dear Dr. Ergin: I was prediabetic at one time but after losing approximately 60 pounds, exercising and watching my diet, I've got my sugar under control. Before a meal, my reading is between 4.9 to 5.6 and after a meal it is between 5.2 to 6.0. I'll splurge once in a while! For Valentine's Day, I had Chinese food. Boy, it was YUMMY!

Adding half and half or heavy whipping cream to my coffee seems to flatten that curve for blood sugar. Also, eating some protein and fat on an empty stomach first before having coffee with half and half also impedes that rise.

I have been a diabetic since i was 24 years old, i am now 42. I quit coffee when i was 30 years old altogether. I did not drink it every day but when i did as when i would visit friends or my parents... It did me absolutely no favors. I still wont have it today. It jolts my blood sugar levels to spike and jump up and down throughout the day. And i just feel sick and ill. Plus it dehydrates me. Here is the funny thing though. Green Tea actually helps me manage my blood sugar and make me feel at peace. I am no scientist and neither am i a doctor. Both Coffee and Tea contain caffeine. However, one is from a bean, the other is from a leaf. I believe its got to do with how ppl's metabolism works. Thank you for the video.

This was interesting. I am a coffee snob. I use custom blend small batch roast, light roast. I do just what you suggest and add in half decaf. I use French press and do use a coarse grind. I also only use decaf that is processed using the Swiss water method. . I do not like dark roast. I like nutty and fruity flavors. I don’t like instant coffee. I also add a dollop of heavy whipping cream and Isopure zero. My glucose does not spike or rise with the above method.

Matthew Hoffman did a video on this and showed his glucose monitor results with trying different times he drank it with different types of breakfasts, it was really interesting. I had no idea that my preferred coffe methods were low caffeine. If I have a small amount of light roast I’m buzzing like crazy, I don’t like it. I like my roast to be as dark as possible, always 100% arabica beans, brewed in my French press and stuck in a blender with some butter, it’s like a no sugar latte. Top it’s with cinnamon and I’m a happy guy.

It's James Hofman actually who did this experiment. And that's how I ended up watching this video :)

Pre-diabetic and I brought down my A1C from 6.2 to 5.7 but, I had no idea about coffee causing the spike. I drink 3-5 cups/day. WOW! I’m going to cut back to 1 and see how it helps.

Share your experience afterwards!

Nice. How did you lower it?

You are a good resource. Glad I found this channel

It is a fantastic program. I will take your suggestion and see how it will work for me. I will be very happy to give my feedback on results after a few weeks of following your instructions. Thank you very much. Please have a good day.

Great tips Doc. Now I know why bike riders love coffee before a morning ride. Pushing the glycogen and adrenaline levels up before a ride makes you feel super human for a few minutes anyway.

[@doptimusmaximus2452]

Hey Dr. Any thoughts on someone pre-diabetic 5.7 A1C having 16oz of dark roast with 4 oz of sugary free vanilla protein shake in the morning after a 16hr fast? Asking for a friend. Kind regards.

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

Lot of good comments here and explained really well. So many of these videos make diabetes sound like a game show.

[@phyliswalters8627]

Will do thanks much Dr

[@avashavash1594]

Can sage tea or other tea associated with some ginger ,cloves and cinnamon can raise insulin? Thank you for this video. I drink turkey decaffeinated with little monk sugar.

guess what: I was watching your video while drinking my afternoon coffee and was waithing patiently you'll say something about Dolce Gusto capsules coffee and my favorite of them all is cafe with milk delicate ,but you didn't mention a word about those type of coffees! But I love the kinf of humor you posses and it is just as sitting and watching some entertaining show 👏 Keep on,Doctor-I bet the audience is loving it too ❤️

Hey Doctor! Thank you for another helpful video. For non diabetic people, if doing intermittent fasting to lose weight and of course this is done to prevent sugar spike. Can I add half and half to my instant coffee? Does the half and half prevent coffee from raising the blood sugar?

After finding out I was developing diabetes 2, I gave up eating bread, potato, pasta and all other garbage food. I adjusted my food to eggs, vegetables, protein and fat. Glucose levels have come down since than, but sometimes I measure a glucose spike of 160 and I really like to get that spike lower. In the morning before breakfast the level is around 100-110. I have two possible causes. The liver still processing the overload of glucose or it’s the coffee I drink. Or is a spike to around 160 actually nothing to worry about. I am 59 btw

[@Purplecow233]

Try certified mold free coffee.

[@rhenry7369]

All in all you're not doing too bad. Could be the Dawn Phenomenon with your fasting levels (what you alluded to with the liver dumping glycogen into the blood). Also, you could test the coffee theory and go without for one week and compare. Also, no coffee with dinner or after dinner. And of course no caffeinated coffee first thing in the morning (that's just asking for trouble). Be sure to get organic if you're buying decaf. Supposedly, caffeine is a natural insecticide but decaf is sprayed heavily. Organic decaf should be free of chemical insecticides/pesticides.

I am a coffe drinker before I used to drink 4 cups of coffe plus tea then I realized my muscles was aching so bad from too much coffee. I went o a doctor because my body was aching he told me to reduce the amount of coffee

[@renyfornow9570]

Coffee is a natural diuretic, so it can deplete electrolytes

[@NathanSmutz]

Any thoughts on adding L-Theanine to coffee? I've seen research showing it mitigates the increase in blood-preasure from caffeine.

More excellent advice so I drink my coffee in the afternoon when I go for my walks because exercise lowers my blood sugar. I use a French press for my coffee so I can shorten the brew time. Thank you for the informative video.

[@petenielsen6683]

This also means you make your coffee the way that cuppers - experts in coffee - say it is supposed to be made. Not drip brewing.

[@ziva1]

I cold brew my coffee in a French Press overnight
