South Beaach allows you 2 caffeinated drinks per day b/c caffeine stimulates insulin production and can cause cravings for sugary/starchy treats. The South Beach Diet is based around the glycemic index.

OK gotcha, it's limited amount of caffeine. As even in diet pills, caffeine is limited and regulated too by FDA. Goes with the principle: Everything should be in moderation eh.

I read on this one and it states :

Caffeine may cause problems with blood sugar control after meals for people with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

Although more research is needed to confirm these results, researchers say their findings show that people with diabetes who have problems with glucose and insulin control should consider cutting back on caffeine in their diets The study showed that caffeine had little effect on glucose and insulin levels during the fasting period, but it caused significant surges after eating a meal This ^^ is also interesting to note: Hence i guess your extra cups of coffee/tea you can have them on an empty stomach eh

( but of course to take into consideration it can causes gastric irritation )

Thanks for the info
