Coffee and Diabetes (#)
„Two more recent papers concluded that long-term coffee consumption is associated with a statistically significantly lower risk for type 2 diabetes (4) and that coffee drinking has a graded inverse association with the risk of type 2 DM (5). These findings are further strengthened by two Swedish studies, which support the hypothesis that coffee consumption protects from the development of diabetes (6 & 7). The mechanisms for this risk reduction are not clear, however, research conducted in the UK, found that coffee drinking had an effect on two hormones in the body that control insulin secretion, and suggest that this may be the mechanism behind the protective effect of coffee consumption and Type 2 diabetes (8).“

„Rob van Dam, who led the research, said: "In view of the widespread use of coffee and the large health burden of type 2 diabetes, our finding of an inverse association between coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes could have important public-health implications. "However, our findings need to be replicated and possible adverse effects on other health aspects should be considered in the choice to consume coffee." He told BBC News Online: "It has been shown over and over again that caffeine lowers insulin sensitivity. But they only study people for a few hours. Exercise and diet "If you look over several days, then there's not such a clear effect - a tolerance of caffeine could develop.“

„To the Editor: Coffee consumption has been associated with a substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.1 However, despite the widespread use of coffee, there are few data on the specific effects of coffee on the 2 main causes of diabetes, ie, insulin resistance and defective insulin secretion. We investigated the association between coffee consumption and both insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in a sample of elderly Swedish men without diabetes.“
