Chinese researchers have discovered there may be reason to believe people who drink three to four cups of coffee each day have less chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. They have found three compounds in coffee that help prevent the toxin hiAPP from forming. This toxin increases the risk of developing diabetes. The three compounds in coffee that decrease the development of hiAPP are caffeine, caffeine acid, and chlorogenic acid. Decaffeinated coffee may even have greater effects of decreasing the hiAPP toxin since there are more acids and less caffeine in the substance.

There are many more ways you can reduce your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. Staying physically fit is one of the most important factors. Incorporating daily exercise, even if it is only walking, can significantly decrease the chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. Eating healthy is also key. The less sugary or fatty foods you consume, the less chance your body has to develop problems digesting sugars.  Smoking can also affect a patient's chances of developing diabetes. Patients who smoke almost double their chances of developing the disease compared to non-smokers. Alcohol consumption comes into play as well. Drinking heavily causes inflammation of the pancreas which decreases the ability to secrete insulin, and therefore can result in diabetes. Reduce alcohol consumption to one or two drinks per day at the most to prevent your development of diabetes.

Researchers are constantly making new discoveries regarding diabetes prevention. Staying informed works in your advantage; diabetes prevention may be as easy as drinking coffee every morning!
