In take of coffee and coffee caffeine daily and regularly is associated to reduced risk and treatment of abnormal fasting glucose levels, epidemiological studies suggested.

Impaired fasting glucose is a condition characterized by abnormal high blood glucose after meal and considered as an indication of prediabetes or symptoms of diabetics.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a prospective study, 910 adults aged >/=50 years without diabetes at baseline in 1984-1987 followed to 1992-1996, an average of 8 years after assessment of coffee intake, researchers found that
past and current coffee drinkers not only had a reduced risk of incident diabetes but also improved impaired glucose in compared with those who never drank coffee.

In 317 participants who are past or current coffee drinkers showed a significant reduced level of fasting blood glucose in compared to the baseline.

Based on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), Dr. Smith B, the lead author said, "This study confirms a striking protective effect of caffeinated coffee against incident diabetes".

Interestingly, in a study comprised 7949 healthy Swedish subjects aged 35-56 years residing within five municipalities of Stockholm. An oral glucose tolerance test identified 55 men and 52 women with previously undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and 172 men and 167 women with impaired glucose tolerance, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet,file the following results

1. The relative risks when drinking >/=5 cups of coffee per day compared with </=2 cups per day in men were 0.45 and 0.63, respectively, and after adjustment of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance but in women, the relative risk was reduced substantially to 0.27.

2. Coffee and coffee caffeine intake was associated inversely in patients with type 2 diabetes.
3. Women, but not in men, with impaired glucose tolerance also benefit from improvement of beta-cell function
4. Both gender with normal glucose tolerance, coffee consumption also displayed a strong effect in reduced risk of insulin resistance.

Dr. Agardh EE, the led author said, "high consumers of coffee have a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. The beneficial effects may involve both improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced insulin response".

Additionally, in a study of subsample of subjects aged 45 to 64 years in 1987 and in 1992 from the population-based FINRISK study (12,287 individuals) invited to receive the standard oral glucose tolerance test at baseline, the fasting and two-hour plasma glucose and insulin measured in 2434 subjects, researchers postulated that according to the data, coffee demonstrated a significantly and inversely associated with fasting glucose, two-hour plasma glucose, and fasting insulin in both men and women.

In fact, intake of coffee in the sample also showed a profound effect in ameliorated impaired fasting glucose, improved impaired glucose regulation, and hyperinsulinemia in both gender, particularly in several glycemia markers.

Conclusively, Coffee, not only is a source of chemical compounds such as chlorogenic acids and lignans in improved glucose metabolism,but also may be considered as a novel mechanisms for effects of diet on Reduced Risk and Treatment of impaired fasting glucose and prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.
