RE: Health Benefits of Coffee ☕

And the researches have shown that the daily use of the coffee for a long time make the immune system more strong and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. The reason is that coffee helps the pancreas to work properly that produces insulin which is use to regulate the sugar levels in the body.

Indeed! From what I understand coffee is good for reducing the risk of getting Type diabetes. However, if you already have diabetes, it is not so good for you, as it may lower your insulin sensitivity, meaning that the insulin (whether injected or naturally created by your pancreas) may become less effective at regulating the sugar levels in your body.

This article from the PharmacyToday periodical (dated 12 January 2022) gives a much more in-depth explanation of some of the other compounds found in coffee; aside from the more well-known caffeine; which also contribute positively and negatively to outcomes of coffee consumption when diabetic or pre-diabetic.
