I have never heard of an interaction with caffeine and metformin, but I have read recently that there are some reports of coffee making blood sugar go up. The studies showed that the coffee drinkers were only drinking the coffee black and were adding no sugar. It is an interesting topic.

About the Metformin with coffee question! Well I drink my coffee black with honey, and it seems as long as I'm not over stressed, depressed or feeling bummed out, it did little to my blood sugar, since taking metformin for 3months, this week is the first time I have felt stressed and depressed (existing condition) and my morning glucose went from 5.4 to 7.2 - 8.8 for the past 5 days. Can anyone else say the same.

Another query please, can anyone tell me if they have stopped metformin cold turkey... any side effects noticed.

I have quit Metformin before cold turkey and I would not wish the result on anyone. I had severe abdominal cramping and nausea. It was comparable to the pain I felt when I had to have my galbladder removed. Metfromin is a medication you have to ramp up to taking the full dose, the same care should be taken to stop taking it as well.
