When discussing starting replacement after my TT recently, my endo said that even black coffee and tea can interfere with absorption. I would need to wait for my AM latte if I took it in the AM. He also suggested it may be both easier to take it at night and also that there was some evidence that the body absorbed it better at night. Probably the same study that Kimberly mentioned.
I have opted for right before I go to bed. This seemed much simpler as I am totally addicted to brewing my latte as soon as I get out of bed. I am in the land of Starbucks afterall. This has also cut out after dinner snacking if I want to get to bed at a decent hour- probably not a bad thing. I am looking forward to my 1st set of labs in Oct to see how I am doing.
Take care.
