Drinking Coffee Decreases a Patients Risk for Developing Type II Diabetes.

Abstract

Many patients come to clinic asking about how drinking coffee can affect their health either for good or bad. A recent study published in the annals of internal medicine followed thousands of men and women over a number of years and showed that drinking coffee actually had a significant protective benefit in helping prevent type II diabetes, however more evaluation is necessary. The purpose of this pamphlet is to better describe the risk factors for type II diabetes, as well as lay out lifestyle modifications that can be made in order to reduce a patient’s risk of developing type II diabetes.
