A small study of 10 patients with type 2 diabetes and who drank at least two cups of coffee daily found that daily consumption of caffeine increases their sugar levels by 8% and can exaggerate the rise in glucose after each meal. Higher sugar levels are bad for diabetics, complications may develop if the sugar levels are not controlled.
