People who consume caffeine occasionally have a greater increased blood pressure, after having a caffeinated drink, compared to habitual caffeine consumers.

Type 2 diabetes is a disease that causes the body to not respond correctly to the hormone insulin. Some studies have shown that taking Caffeine for a long period of time may improve the sensitivity to insulin in these patients. It might also help to treat a breathing disorder, known as asthma.

Sugar tablets were consumed by subjects in order to assess how much the stomach wall stretches depending on the amount of hormones released in response and the sugar concentrations.

In a study comparing regular caffeine drinkers to non-regular caffeine drinkers, it was shown that caffeine has a greater effect in the fluctuation of blood pressure on the non-regular caffeine drinkers. This indicates that regular caffeine consumption reduces the effect of short term changes of blood.

Caffeine has been proved to have various long-benefits on individuals. For example, Type 2 diabetes patients that have a reduced sensitivity to insulin may improve their response. Secondly, there is potential for the treatment of asthma through caffeine related medication.

7 people completed glucose tolerance tests assessing whether large food consumption, leading to stretching of the stomach, can affect the amount of glucose present in the blood due to changing levels of hormones such as insulin and glucagon.

People who drink caffeine less regularly are more likely to have an increased blood pressure when caffeine is consumed than those that regularly drink caffeine. This shows us that drinking caffeine regularly can influence the effects of caffeine.

Irregular coffee drinkers showed a significant spike in blood pressure an hour after drinking coffee compared to regular coffee drinkers, indicating that regular coffee intake can cause a resistance to caffeine’s effects.

Drinking caffeine daily can reduce symptoms in people with type-2 diabetes by improving their body’s response to insulin. It has also been found that caffeine intake may be able to treat asthma.

Long term caffeine intake has been shown to improve the health of people suffering from Type-2 diabetes, as well as being helpful in producing anti-asthma drugs.

Glucose tablets were taken by 7 participants to see how movement in the stomach affects the release of hormones and thus glucose levels in the blood.

There is evidence to suggest daily caffeine intake may improve response to hormone insulin in patients with Type-2 diabetes. This may be used in treating asthma.

Caffeine, found in tea, coffee and other popular beverages, has been shown to have a positive influence on the ability of cells in type-2 diabetes sufferers to recognise a hormone called insulin. Insulin is responsible for regulating the amount of sugar in the blood. The same substance may be helpful in the treatment of the respiratory disease, asthma.

Comment from Dr MacDonald:
This is a better version than the original. Are the terms 'type 2 diabetes' and 'caffeine' lay terms?

# data[].attributes.body
Studies have shown that if you don’t drink coffee regularly you are more likely to have a greater increase in blood pressure, during heart contractions, 60 minutes after drinking coffee and a greater increase in blood pressure 45 minutes for heart relaxations. Whereas if you drink coffee regularly you are less likely to have an increase in blood pressure after drinking coffee.

Comment from Dr MacDonald:
When 'translating' into lay terms, you do not need to translate every detail - for example, in this case,  distinguishing been sytolic and diastolic measurements.  Keep it simple but still informative - 'blood pressure' will do.

Seven people ate a sugar tablet to find out how significant the increase in stomach size is in the release of hormones to control sugar level, and the sugar levels in the blood.

Comment from Dr MacDonald:
Good effort - using 'blood sugar' instead of 'glucose' amd 'hormones' instead of mentioning their names.  You could work a little on the phrasing of your sentance - perhaps breaking it into two sentances.

Having a high amount of caffeine in your diet could be good for you if you have Diabetes. Recent studies have shown that caffeine can improve your body’s ability to detect Insulin, if you have Type-2 diabetes. This opens up many new techniques for treating certain conditions, such as Asthma.

Comment from Dr MacDonald:
Good effort - you have effectively brought in the additional benefit of caffeine intake in other diseases.  Are 'insulin' 'type 2 diabetets' and 'caffeine' lay terms?

You've made an attempt to clarify the original text, OK, good - but what about the term 'sensitivity'?  Does it have a more commonly understood meaning than the use of it in this context has?

Individuals who suffer from type-2 diabetes may benefit from introducing long-term caffeine consumption into their diet as it has been shown to improve their sensitivity to insulin. There is also the potential for long-term caffeine intake to be used as a treatment for asthma.

Long-term caffeine intake has been shown to increase the efficiency of non-injected natural Insulin in decreasing blood sugar levels of patients. Additionally, it has the potential for treatment of asthma sufferers.

For people with type-2 diabetes, long-term caffeine intake has been found to increase the ability of body cells to respond to insulin, which may have applications in asthma treatment as caffeine is similar to theophylline, the drug found in inhalers.

Comment from Dr MacDonald:

Impressive - you've done some additional research to find a link between caffeine intake and asthma.  Have you made the text more difficiult to understand by the general reader as a result?
