A member asked:
Is coffee good or bad for diabetes?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: Good: coffee has other chemicals in it besides caffeine which have beneficial effects on metabolism and may even slow dementia. Bad: too much of a good thing can be bad. Too much coffee can make you irritable, dehydrated, and cause poor sleep and fatigue. Ugly: sugar, cream, not to mention fancy lattes and frapuccinos are laden with sugar, fat, and calories.
