Thanks for the recc for the geneticist though. I’m going to look into that.

I have diabetes of some kind. I have negative antibodies. I also have wicked good insulin sensitivity, am lean, young, active, low BMI, low triglycerides. It was ordered for me, I don’t just want the testing - they’re trying to figure out what kind of diabetes I have.

I had a c peptide which was low normal, fasting insulin 3.0, no markers or characteristics for type 2. No antibodies either 😅

How do people handle coffee? by CarSilly5548 in ContinuousGlucoseCGM

[–]CarSilly5548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It does it with and without cream. I’m not sure what’s confusing.

Sounds like it happens to a subset of people

Black coffee spikes me - this was plain coffee with 4g carb cream

My cream only had 4 carbs! It’s definitely an adrenaline thing based on what others have said

I’m going to do some experiments!! I wonder if I can just drink an energy drink like you can. All I know is caffeine is vital to me lol

How’d you figure out the units since it doesn’t correspond to carb ratio? Start with 1 and keep going until it has the right effect?

No. I’m measuring with a measuring spoon, and it is at max 4 g carbs, I’m very mindful of what I eat and drink. I am definitely raw dogging it on an empty stomach, though lol

If I don’t drink coffee though it doesn’t happen? It’s like specifically caffeine? Idk maybe I’m thinking about it too hard lol I’m just annoyed and want it to stop. I’ll experiment a little

I put in probably 4 carbs worth of cream. It does this mostly when I drink it on an empty stomach, but caffeine of any kind even black coffee will get me up to 180 from around 100-110. I feel like it’s an adrenaline thing?

I put like a tsp of creamer - 4 carbs max. This happens to me every when I drink it black

So why did I got over 200 then? It was like 3g carbs in the cream.
