Coffee to . . . . bolus for??

Last night Pete and I went to an extra special event.  A very good friend of mine has started a coffee business and last night he held a small launch party.  I got to sample my first taste of Deadly Grounds - Coffee to Die For.  We sampled the Dark & Deadly Roast, and it was GOOOOD!!!  (Although at midnight, when I STILL couldn’t get to sleep?  Maybe not so good . . . . )


 I don't know about you, but caffeine spikes my blood sugar.  In the morning, when I drink my daily vat of coffee, I bolus one full unit while the coffee is brewing to head off the coffee-spike.  If I have any more coffee during the day, I always choose decaf - partly because the caffeine will keep me up at night and partly because I usually choose to spend my carbs and insulin on actual food rather than beverages.  But I’ll make an exception for Deadly Grounds, because this coffee sure is bolus-worthy.  The problem is, I forgot to bolus for it last night because I’m only used to drinking caffeine in the morning.  Stupid caffeine spike!!

I’m really proud of my friend and his new coffee venture.  I love the way he ties in the whole “Deadly Grounds” theme through the products, packaging and advertising.

And yes, in case you are wondering, that is his hearse in the ad.  (Although that isn’t him behind the wheel.)  And yes, he has driven it to my house for a visit.  Nothing makes you the freak of the neighborhood like standing outside chatting next to the hearse on your curb!
