Is it all right for a diabetic to drink brewed green tea?

My mother has Type 2 diabetes (was only diagnosed in her late 50s) and is taking medication to lower her blood sugar levels.





I heard that green tea can "wash out" any existing medicines in the body. How true is this? So will she be able to drink green tea then? She currently does not drink any green tea but I do (tea leaves imported directly from China) and thought maybe she could try some.

Number one, there's no harm in drinking green tea. There are claimed benefits such as metabolic increase and fat reduction, but beyond that, I'm not sure. You mother might benefit from some of what has helped me. Visit my diabetes info page:

Reply:i asked my doctor and nutritionist the same question. you can drink as much as green tea as you want as long as it doesn't contain sugar or milk. if it does, then you should measure your tea intake and count sugars, proteins and carbohydrates just like the educator/doctor told your mother too.





one thing: there isn't any evidence that green tea helps people with diabetes, but there is evidence that green tea helps in general. this is due to the low level of radical groups in this kind of tea.
Reply:Tea is on my list of things that I can eat or drink freely.
Reply:Green tea is not going to do anything to your mom's diabetic medication. She will get the same benefit from it as you do. Godloveya.
Reply:Never heard that diabetics cant drink green tea. We pregnant women cant, however. Green tea is a great thing.
