What is the allowance for "filter coffee effect"?

Some people seem to get a bit of a BG lift when drinking 'proper' filter coffee.

Now we always start the day with a Cafetiere and a couple of mugs each, so I don;t really have a lot of different days to compare and contrast. It might well just be DP/FHTF (dawn phenom/feet hit the floor) but I seem to have to allow an extra 10-15g of carbs to my weekday breakfasts for the doses to work, and I've come to think of that as being 'a bit for the coffee'.

Always running basal tests in pairs to make sure it's a trend not a one off. Pain innit!

"in pairs" is that 2 days on the run ie if you did a basal test on a Sunday at 3am then also do another on Monday at 3am?

Fruit juice first thing in the morning? What do your 2-hour PPs look like? I personally wouldn't dream of drinking fruit juice at a time when I'm already very insulin resistant.

....the only time I am happy drinking fruit juice is for a hypo cure, spikes me so badly otherwise!
