Diabetes and high blood pressure don't like caffeine so I have my one cup of it in the AM to help wake up and then switch to decaf coffee and half&half diet rite cola/water unless my asthma is flared up then I have another cup of caffeine because its a bronchial dilator. Back when I was kicking caffeine addiction because of my health, that's how I did it. I stopped thinking of or referring to caffeinated coffee as coffee. It was a cup of caffeine. Decaf is the only thing I call coffee... same goes for caffeine sodas... they're a can of caffeine. Diet rite is the only soda I call pop... just my little mental gymnastics... whatever it takes when the substance can be life-threatening.
