Does drinking coffee has an effect on diabetes, if so how much do one has to drink for it to matter?

Coffee won't "control" diabetes. Most diabetics can drink coffee without getting a huge blood glucose rise (that is, plain black coffee without any dairy or creamer or sugar added). Same with tea. It offers some of us a means to have something we love without having to adjust our carb load for the rest of the day. But it won't control diabetes or glucose levels. And on top of that, as with everything, coffee has a greater affect on some people so you have to test yourself and see how you react to it. The diabetic nurse who taught my diabetes class has been Type 1 since she was a wee little girl and she said that every time she drinks coffee she has to adjust her insulin because coffee raises her blood glucose. I have to have milk and Equal (or some other artificial sweetener) in my coffee but the affect on my glucose is so slight I don't deduct carb grams from my carb allotment (and I only have one cup of coffee a day). I'm pretty sure if drinking coffee was a diabetes deterrent, we would not have the high percentage of diabetics (in the US at least) that we do since so many of us are coffee addicts.
