I don't believe that's true. Caffiene addiction has nothing to do with blood sugar. It is usually diagnosed by a sense of anxiety bordering on panic, tolerance to caffiene (ie being able to sleep after drinking coffee all day....although fitfully)and a sense of depression following the stimulant effect. Want to know if you are addicted?? Just stop drinking coffee and wait until (or if ) you develop a headache that goes away with caffiene ingestion. More that 200 mg of caffiene a day is considered in the addictive state.

Answer

Well Caffiene is a diacritic (it makes you pee a lot) so yes a caffeine addiction could mimic the symptoms. For Gods sake though if you think you may be a diabetic go to the Dr and get tested.

No, caffeine is not the cause of either kind of diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease meaning that your body, essentially, "attacked" itself. The antibodies destroyed the cells that produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes (the more common of the two), can because by unhealthy weight and diet. In type 2 diabetics their pancreas slows and does not secrete an efficient amount of insulin. Unlike type 1 diabetes, you can get rid of type 2. Caffeine doesn't play any factor in the onset of diabetes.

Does caffeine free and sugar free mean the same thing?

No, sugar and caffeine are two separate entities. Caffeine can keep you awake and make you hyper. Sugar is one of the fast body fuels but in excess it can add to your weight. A sugar free item uses a replacement for the "sugars". (Fructose is a common sugar.) A caffeine free item has no caffeine in it.

Can hyperglycemia lead to kidney failure?

Yes because of its ability to cause low blood pressure-------------------------------------Actually low blood pressure has nothing to do with it. High blood sugar damages the network of fine blood vessels found in the kidneys . It also causes the body to eliminate excess sugar throughurine, so the kidneys can become fatigued. Long periods of high blood sugar can lead to kidney damage that in turn may cause high blood pressure.

Does black coffee immediately after a meal help to lower blood sugar levels?

For most young, healthy adults, caffeine doesn't appear to noticeably affect blood sugar (glucose) levels, and having up to 400 milligrams a day appears to be safe. Some studies suggest that drinking coffee — whether caffeinated and decaffeinated — may actually reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you already have diabetes, however, the impact of caffeine on insulin action may be associated with higher or lower blood sugar levels. For some people with diabetes, about 200 milligrams of caffeine — or the equivalent of one to two 8-ounce (240-milliliter) cups of plain, brewed coffee — may cause this effect. Caffeine affects every person differently. If you have diabetes or you're struggling to control your blood sugar levels, limiting the amount of caffeine in your diet may provide a benefit.
