This study examined the impact of sugar-sweetened coffee consumption on blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. The results showed that frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened coffee was associated with higher blood glucose levels and difficulty in glycemic control.
One of the most frequently consumed beverages by Korean adults is 3-in-1 coffee (mixed coffee) with sugar and creamer. Hence, understanding the effect of sugar-sweetened coffee (SSC) consumption on blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is important. This study was conducted using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2008 to 2020. In total, 5671 patients with DM were included in the analysis. Coffee consumption patterns were assessed using a 24 h recall. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were used to evaluate whether patients reached the glycemic control targets defined by the Korean Diabetes Association. In total, 46.57% of patients with DM included in this analysis consumed SSC. Patients who frequently consumed SSC had significantly higher FBG and HbA1c levels than those who did not (both p for trend <0.01). In a multivariate logistic regression model, the odds ratios of not achieving the target FBG and HbA1c levels were 1.24 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.48, p for trend = 0.01) and 1.29 (95% CI: 1.05-1.58, p for trend = 0.009), respectively. Frequent consumption of SSC can cause difficulty in FBG and HbA1c management in patients with DM.
