Taurine Offsets Multiple Stressors of High Blood Sugar. Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin. When your fasting blood sugar rises above 90 your body enters into a state of stress trying to deal with extra sugar. This is true long before blood sugar rises to the level of type 2 diabetes. The extra sugar in your circulation is a challenge for the health of your arteries, heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and eyes. A number of new studies show that supplemental taurine can help combat the stress of high blood sugar and act as a tool to assist in normalizing your blood sugar regulating systems.
It's possible that caffeine can cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure, even if you don't have high blood pressure. The amount of caffeine in two to three cups of coffee can raise systolic pressure (the top number in your blood pressure reading) 3 to 14 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Your diastolic pressure (the bottom number) can be increased 4 to 13 mm Hg. It's unclear what causes this spike in blood pressure.
