caffeine - blood sguar?

[Vitamin S]

1. p,

i read somewhere caffeine like sugar can increase blood sugar spike and then make u crash is this true? is this the reason why sometimes (i know i shouldn't be doing this, but i can't always eat according to schedule at work and if amiss a meal or haven't eaten in a long time, and my work is strenuous that my blood sugar drops and i feel dizzy and confused, and then i quickly need to eat to restore levels?

i am not diabetic but once in a while exp this? (i also noticed this when my breakfast is purely high glycemic and not balance liked only fruits that i get this dip hours later and then scramble to find food. perhaps i should just be having a protein/slower burning carbs and fats for morning shake?

also noticed it happens mostly day after i drank the night before lots, cause i don't drink much to begin with.

thx

No caffeine will not cause an insulin spike...your blood sugar drops because you havent eaten in awhile...thats normal...plus you are working hard so burning up large amounts of glucose. You get the same effect from you high GH breakfasts because they spike insulin and then you crash. You need to eat balanced macro meals on time.

Even if I take 300mg of caffeine and 20mg of geranium, I still fall asleep 30min after my PWO shake. Once I have my solid meal, I'm back to normal.
