Coffee is known to spike many folks.
This is why Atkins originally discouraged it during induction.
I'm a type I and spike in early morning (dawn phenomenon). I find coffee to make it much worse.
Strangely, very caffeinated tea (more than coffee) and even sf red bull don't spike me, so it's not the caffeine in my experience (YMMV).
You might try nixing coffee for a test for a week or two? I still drink caffeine every morning, but coffee is now weekend treat (when I don't spike as much anyway as I, less stressed- stress of rush over, getting to work, etc....doesn't make me "feel stressed" but my BG begs to differ!).
Any decrease in BG yet?
