Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For the docs: I have my annual physical including a fasting blood draw. What’s the opinion on black coffee affecting my blood glucose? Some say it’s ok and some say it’s not.

No one in the clinical world is worried about this.

Don’t carry that thing in your underwear until you complete your family.

Can raise serum lipids a bit. I will not tell you what I do.

datlas MoAlpha I had a double espresso at 6 AM and probably won’t be tested until 9 so I’m not too worried.

Edit: Well, it doesn't matter, now. My doctor called in sick.

That sucks.

I actually may actually have to go to the hospital and be around people on the two upcoming Fridays, unless, of course, I get COVID from food shopping today.

I don't think so. It's possible but conventional wisdom says no and a brief literature search does not show anything obvious.
