Drinking coffee is not always bad. Just because of association with caffeine so this kind of beverage is not good for our health. The diseases that determined by life factor, one of them is Type 2 diabetes. Currently hot topic “drinking coffee help control type 2 diabetes” is on. Let`s take a look at one of them. Academic Dissertation paper presented by Siamak Bidel, COFFEE AND RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES:

Recently released data suggest the effects of coffee consumption on type 2 diabetes. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of habitual coffee consumption on various aspects of type 2 diabetes and its most common complications.

The blood pressure, weight, and height of subjects were measured. By using selfadministered questionnaires data were collected on medical history, socioeconomic factors, physical activity, smoking habits, and alcohol, coffee, and tea consumption.

Higher coffee consumption was associated with higher body mass index, occupational physical activity and cigarette smoking, and lower blood pressure, education level, leisure
time physical activity, tea consumption and alcohol use. Age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and current smoking were positively associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes, however, education, and occupational, commuting and leisure time physical activity were inversely associated.

The significant inverse association between coffee consumption and the risk of type 2 diabetes was found in both sexes but the association was stronger in women. Coffee consumption was significantly and inversely associated with fasting glucose, 2-hour plasma glucose, fasting insulin, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose regulation, and hyperinsulinemia among both men and women and with isolated impaired glucose tolerance among women.

Serum ?-glutamyltransferase modified the association between coffee consumption and incident diabetes. Among subjects with high serum ?-glutamyltransferase (>75th percentile), coffee consumption showed an inverse association for women, as well as men and women combined.

An inverse association also occurred between coffee consumption and the risk of total, cardiovascular disease, and coronary heart disease mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes.

The results of this study showed that habitual coffee consumption may be associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. Coffee consumption may have some effects on several markers of glycemia, and may lower the incident of type 2 diabetes in high normal serum ?-glutamyltransferase levels. Total, cardiovascular disease, and coronary heart disease mortality rate among subjects with type 2 diabetes may also be reduced by coffee consumption.
