The level of sugar (more precisely, glucose) in the blood is a vital indicator that must be monitored in the case of diabetes. This disease is characterized by the fact that the body loses the ability to transform glucose into energy – and its level rises to dangerous levels.

Chronically high cortisol levels are a very dangerous condition. This hormone affects the immune system (by inhibiting it), the cardiovascular system (leading to an increase in blood pressure), as well as the body’s ability to absorb fast carbohydrates – and even mood.

Based on research data, there is a possibility that drinking coffee may alter insulin production and raise blood sugar levels in diabetic patients – at least in people with a certain combination of genes and increased sensitivity to caffeine.
