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.

Ginger tea can provide a refreshing feeling due to its mild spicy taste. Ginger affects blood sugar control by inhibiting enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and increasing insulin sensitivity. Drinking ginger tea helps lower fasting blood sugar levels and A1C in people with type 2 diabetes.
