Most people can handle some coffee. If it does not affect your numbers, good for you.

If you are talking about Oral Medication, coffee actually helps them get absorbed better - our bodies actually "suck coffee up" pretty quickly so if you take your meds with coffee they get sucked up along with it

(caffeine doesn't mess with any "diabetes meds" one way or the the other)

There are some really good studies on it, go figure 😁
