Common Questions and Answers about Health benefits of coffee to diabetics

A partial answer, since I don't know all of what you have to avoid, would be that a diet based on the whole foods concept should help some. The whole foods concept is based on the idea of eating foods as close to how you get them from nature as possible without processing them. Going gluten free has helped several of my conditions, including pre-diabetes. I went gluten free for other health reasons and had many benefits.
Of the 808 patients who responded to the questionnaire at baseline, 711 drank zero to 2 cups of coffee a day, and 97 drank 3 or more cups of coffee daily. Those who drank the most coffee also consumed the most alcohol and cigarettes. These coffee drinkers, however, had healthier livers than the other participants, with less steatosis (evaluated by biopsy) and lower bilirubin levels, α-fetoprotein levels, and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratios (P < .05).
Living with an alcoholic or being in a relationship with one can be very tough. At this point in his life he probably feels like he's too old to change his habits.
This is a difficult situation. In order to confront him about him and hope to get any forward momentum on this you need to get the family involved. Everyone needs to voice their concern and their emotions and show/demonstrate how his drinking is hurting them. Only then might he understand the true severity of his disease.
Coffee consumption is on the rise in the United States and over half of Americans drink it everyday, according to the National Coffee Association.
Antioxidants in general have been linked to a number of potential health benefits, including protection against heart disease and cancer. For the current study, Vinson and his associates analyzed the antioxidant content of more than 100 different food items, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, spices, oils and common beverages.
An Italian case-control study [28] based on 151 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma, reported a multivariate RR of 0.78 for drinkers of ≥3 cups of coffee per day, compared to non coffee drinkers. In a Greek case-control study [26], including 333 cases, the age- and sex-adjusted RR was 0.7 for drinkers of ≥20 cups of coffee per week compared to non drinkers.
Because a I have United Healthcare as well and it is also from Minnesota, I think this is the ridiculous insurance ever, every time we do bloodwork, that send me a bill saying this and that is not covered and the bill is over $200 that I have to pay out of my pocket. My total out of pocket doctors visit was estimated to be 670 with my insurance but, honestly I have to pay almost twice that amount.
In prior studies, coffee consumption has been linked to a wide range of health benefits including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and several types of cancer, the researchers noted as background. It may have a particularly beneficial effect on the liver, being associated with lower liver enzyme levels and reduced cirrhosis and liver cancer.
It sounds like you're having digestion problems. The most problematic of the foods you mention generally are first, the milk, second, the sugar, and third the coffee. But it's hard to say since diet is very complicated, and you don't say how soon after eating you laid down. Chamomile is a good stomach relaxant and anti-inflammatory, perhaps try some of that instead of the coffee, milk, and sugar and see how you do, assuming you don't need the coffee to stay awake.
The newest study just published yesterday suggests that coffee not only benefits your likelyhood of beating this virus, it also decreases the risk of
liver cancer and fibrosis. In the past the emphasis was caffeine was the determining factor but new research disproves this finding. More research is underway but it appears an intrinsic component in coffee found in decaf and regular creates this positive environment. You must consume 3 cups or more daily.
There are a lot of mixed medical opinions out there regarding this so you should do what you feel comfortable with both physically and emotionally...caffeine is tough to kick so if you decide to cut it out of your diet do it slowly by switching to a mix of decaf and regular...I personally gave it up while I was prego but I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks...however I quickly went back to my old habit and it is a b**** to kick it again!
Hello Pajh,
I'm sorry to be late in answering your question. I'm a volunteer and a long-time Type 1 diabetic and not a medical professional. Our site specializes in Type 1, but we often can answer general questions on Type 2.
I have 2 suggestions for you & your husband to get definitive answers on his specific set of conditions -- and treatment options. First, ask these questions of his doctor.
