Summer is here and there are many drinks, but not many options available for diabetics. Apart from plain water, tea, no doubt, is a good option.

Diabetics can drink tea, and can drink tea for a long time, especially suitable for drinking light tea.

Green tea and black tea are both more common teas, is green tea good, or black tea good?

In fact, both green and black teas are good, and both types of tea contain tea polyphenols and tea polysaccharides.

Some studies believe that tea polyphenol components, for lowering blood glucose, protect pancreatic islet cell function, promote insulin secretion have a certain role in the stabilization of diabetes as well as to delay the onset of complications are beneficial.

However, there is no evidence to prove that drinking tea has the effect of lowering blood sugar, and many studies have only reached a sufficient amount of tea polyphenols to be able to play such an effect, but it is difficult to achieve such a purpose through the way of drinking tea.

Therefore, although the green tea tea polyphenol content is higher than black tea, but we can not use this to judge which tea is more beneficial to diabetic patients, because for the time being, no matter which kind of tea to drink, there is no direct lowering of blood glucose effect.

Tea is just a kind of drink, tea itself does not contain sugar, and drinking tea can replenish water, especially in summer more should drink more water, people can completely according to their own preferences, like to drink whichever kind of drink.

There are many teas on the market today, including floral tea, herbal tea, black tea, green tea, pu-erh tea, buckwheat tea, and so on, which are suitable for long-term consumption by diabetics.

However, it is important to grasp the dosage, do not drink strong tea, overnight tea, and do not drink tea immediately after meals.

When choosing tea, diabetics must be careful to choose not to choose the functional tea and health tea on the market.

Most of these products contain substances that may be hazardous to health or directly contain trace amounts of glucose-lowering drugs, which can cause a risk of hypoglycemia, an increase in adverse drug-to-drug reactions, or an increase in side effects if combined with glucose-lowering drugs in therapy.

In short, tea can choose their favorite drink, long-term regular consumption, for sugar lovers count on a good drink.

I hope my answer is helpful to you, if you think it's well written, feel free to like and follow {Sugar Control Man}, thanks for reading!

The Chinese love drinking tea so much that it has become an art.

For drinking tea, every Chinese, are more or less understand some, because for the daily drink, many people think of its benefits for diabetes have? Black tea is good for diabetes, or green tea is good for diabetes?

Drinking tea is indeed good for diabetes, that is not to be questioned.

First of all, drinking tea can hydrate, Chinese residents dietary guidelines recommend drinking 1500 milliliters of water per day, diabetics drink more water also has the benefit of reducing the concentration of glucose in the body (of course, the impact is relatively small), can prevent urinary tract infections and so on.

Tea contains tea polyphenols and tea polysaccharides. Tea polyphenols, which have been studied more, are polyphenol hydroxyl-containing substances with antioxidant properties.

Many animal experiments have found that tea polyphenols can improve glucose tolerance, reduce fasting and postprandial blood glucose, protect pancreatic islet cell function and promote insulin secretion. Therefore, it is good for preventing and reducing the complications of diabetes, can lower fat and weight loss, and slow down diabetic microangiopathy.

Current research on diabetes treatment has focused on green tea because it is an unfermented tea, and such teas have a higher content of tea polyphenols.

About the hypoglycemic effect of green tea in the "Materia Medica" in the record, folk tea with green tea to treat diabetes recipes.

Despite this, no evidence has been found in clinical trials that drinking tea lowers blood sugar. One clinical trial had subjects drink 3 cups of green tea a day for 14 weeks, but the final fasting blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin did not improve significantly, possibly related to not drying the tea long enough.

Just like in animal testing, the observations that had a hypoglycemic effect were made with direct use of tea polyphenols, the direct use of tea water has low bioavailability, and a large amount of tea polyphenols is needed to achieve a hypoglycemic effect.

Therefore tea is a drink, it is very unrealistic to expect it to play a role in lowering sugar, drink whichever you like, at least the water is good for the body.

I am Dr. Sun, pay attention to Dr. Sun talk about sugar, continue to learn more quality health knowledge, attention to the message must be replied!

I am a diabetic, since childhood, I have followed my grandfather to learn to drink tea, and have been insisting on it until now, so to speak; you can not eat, tea must drink, with tea not away from the hand to describe it is not too much.

The day I was diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing I asked the doctor was can I still drink tea? The doctor said yes, can I have any kind of tea? I asked again; the doctor said as long as there is no added sugar it is fine.

So the most comforting thing for me after being diagnosed with diabetes was that I could still drink tea and it wasn't too bad.

I'm a green tea, safflower, raw tea, ripe tea, and floral tea eater, and I've been drinking all kinds of different teas in a variety of ways, and I've tasted teas all over the country to make up for my food deficiencies.

After so many years, I have not seen any abnormal symptoms, and my blood sugar is quite stable. My friends know that I have high blood sugar, and it is not appropriate to send me small snacks, so they all send me tea instead.

I also have a pot of mint growing in my yard myself, and every once in a while I'll pick a few sprigs of mint leaves to make a cup of verdant mint tea... beautiful! Beautiful!

Since the diagnosis of diabetes, alcohol is not allowed, all kinds of drinks are not recommended, two cups of coffee a day in the morning and two cups of coffee in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time is just tea as a companion.

Black tea can nourish the stomach and promote digestion. Green tea has the effect of clearing heat and delaying aging. Diabetics can drink it, but avoid drinking processed tea beverages to avoid excessive sugar intake. It is not advisable to drink tea before going to bed, which will affect the quality of sleep.

Green tea contains tea polyphenols, caffeine and other ingredients, moderate drinking, can lower the body's cholesterol, lower triglycerides and other effects, there is a certain refreshing effect. Patients with diabetes can drink some green tea in moderation, with the effect of thirst, can treat diabetes caused by thirst, dry mouth and other symptoms. Patients with diabetes should eat a reasonable diet, do not eat sugary food, do not eat too much spicy stimulating food and fried food, should be a small amount of meals, appropriate exercise.

Thanks for the invite to answer!

Green tea contains tea polysaccharides, vitamins and other nutrients.It enhances enzyme activity, which in turn slows down the rise in blood sugar, and the vitamins in it protect blood vessels, thus reducing the risk of diabetes complicating vascular sclerosis.

However, sugar lovers suffering from fever, peptic ulcer, neurasthenia should not drink green tea; pregnant women are also not suitable for drinking strong tea.

而What about black tea, which not only strengthens the immune system, but also stimulates insulin secretion, which can stabilize postprandial blood sugar.Sugar lovers can also drink it in moderation.

Green tea has 328 kcal/100g, black tea has 324 kcal/100g, and it is fine for sugar lovers to use about 1.5g of tea leaves to brew three times a day.

All in all, both green and black tea are good to switch around.

Finally, good health!

Whether black tea or green tea is just a drink, diabetes is the first thing to take medication, appropriate tea is good for your health, but it does not play a role in diabetes!

Stanley Diabetes Center's Senior Health Manager has the answer:

Although different types of tea, but the nutrient content of tea is similar, tea in the tea polyphenols and other nutrients have an antioxidant effect, can improve insulin sensitivity, but theophylline and ellagic acid and so on will interfere with the absorption of minerals and trace elements, as well as some of the drugs. For diabetics, black tea and green tea can be chosen according to personal taste.

Feel free to leave any other questions in the comments section.

Black tea and green tea should be said to be the most common tea drinks, for diabetics, these 2 kinds of tea are appropriate to drink some.It is generally recommended that diabetics are better off choosing lighter teas, never stronger ones.

black tea

In black teapolyphenolIt helps to fight cardiovascular disease, and tea polyphenols are beneficial because of their excellent antioxidant properties and significant free radical scavenging ability.

Still, it's important to emphasize: sugar lovers drink black tea at a strength that islighterIt's better, andYou can't drink with food.。

green tea

The biggest difference between green tea and black tea is the processing. Black tea is fermented, while green tea is not. In this way, theGreen tea contains more polyphenols than black tea.. Often sit in front of the computer work of the sugar friends may be appropriate to drink some green tea, summer time can be a good thirst.

So, whether it's black tea or green tea, diabetics can actually drink it without too much concern.

However, tea does contain caffeine, tannins and other substances, so diabetics should still avoid tea if they have the following symptoms.

In which cases should you drink less or no tea?

1. Diabetic patients have symptoms of constipation

Tea has an astringent effect. This is because the elements in tea combine with the proteins in food to become indigestible substances, affecting the work of intestinal power, resulting in dehydrated, dry stools and aggravating constipation.

2. Diabetics have symptoms of anemia

Tea contains monobutyric acid, which reduces the body's absorption of iron. Iron-deficient people originally need to supplement with iron-rich foods. But if you drink tea, in fact, the effect of iron supplementation will obviously be greatly reduced.

3. Diabetics with gastric ulcers

Tea is a stimulating drink, it will stimulate the body's gastric acid secretion, and gastric ulcer patients is because of gastric acid is more and lead to, so people with gastric ulcer disease usually is not recommended to drink tea.

summarize

In fact, a lot of things are to talk about the dose, over a degree, that may be people want the kind of health effects do not serve to exist, so whether it is a diabetic drinking tea or eating something else, thelight (of food, not greasy or strongly flavored)Two words to keep in mind.
