Abstract
 
Objective: The epidemiological association between coffee drinking and decreased risk of type 2 diabetes is strong. However, caffeinated coffee acutely impairs glucose metabolism. We assessed acute effects of decaffeinated coffee on glucose and insulin levels.
 
Research design and methods: Randomized cross-over placebo-controlled trial of the effects of decaffeinated coffee, caffeinated coffee and caffeine on glucose, insulin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) levels during a two-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in eleven young men.
 
Results: Within the first hour of the OGTT, glucose and insulin were higher for decaffeinated coffee than for placebo (p<0.05). During the whole OGTT decaffeinated coffee yielded higher insulin than placebo, and lower glucose and a higher insulin sensitivity index than caffeine. Changes in GIP could not explain any beverage effects on glucose and insulin.
 
Conclusions: Some types of decaffeinated coffee may acutely impair glucose metabolism, but less than caffeine.
