Many people seek to avoid the harm that high blood sugar levels can cause, and according to what was published by the British newspaper “Mirror”, Dr. Michael Mosley, a well-known nutrition expert, advises making a simple change in the morning cup of coffee, which is said to help reduce alarming increases in blood sugar levels. sugar level in blood.
Dr. Mosley says if a person can’t live without a hot cup of coffee when they wake up in the morning, they probably won’t give it up when they know it raises their blood sugar, which can lead to problems in some cases, one of which is diabetes.
Mosley goes on to say that the good news is that caffeine lovers will not have to say goodbye to their morning cup, explaining that blood sugar is already high when you wake up, and although adding caffeine raises it even further, there is a simple trick that can help. In reducing these alarming levels.

It is important to monitor blood sugar for a number of reasons. Dr. Moseley said there are “millions of people who suffer from abnormally high blood sugar, but are unaware of the serious damage it can cause to their arteries and nerves.” Dr. Moseley added that “any high blood sugar levels could be a precursor to diabetes from Full type 2 diabetes, and that even if a person does not develop type 2 diabetes, simply having prediabetes increases the risk of premature death by more than 60%.
Dr. Mosley stated that he received advice from Professor James Bates, Professor of Metabolic Physiology at the University of Bath, which concluded that delaying drinking coffee for some time helps protect against potential harm. “The advice is to delay drinking coffee until at least an hour after waking up when cortisol levels in the body have dropped,” Dr. Mosley wrote. “This trick definitely seems to help control the blood sugar response. It has also been shown that a brisk walk immediately after eating was a good way to go.” To lower blood sugar levels, because the muscles consume some of the excess sugar.
