This is a very good sign! I had gestational diabetes, a half of my family had diabetes 50+ so I am at risk. Still, I love coffee!
Coffee may reduce risk of type 2 diabetes

Drinking massive amounts of coffee could cut the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a new study. Coffee consumption reduced the diabetes risk in women in a 11-year study. However it was the antioxidants and not caffeine in the coffee that did the trick.
The researchers said that the risk of diabetes was reduced most in participants who preferred decaffeinated coffee. Postmenopausal women who reported drinking more than six cups of java daily were found to have a 22 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to the researchers at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
