5 Types of Tea Good for People with Diabetes
Green Tea
A cup of green tea contains 0 carbohydrates, 0g of sugar, and 2.5 calories, so it does not affect blood sugar levels, according to the USDA. The high antioxidant content in green tea helps reduce blood sugar levels and prevents type 2 diabetes. The compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) also helps increase glucose uptake into muscle cells and reduces the risk of obesity.
