Can people with diabetes drink coffee and tea?

The right amount of coffee

Many people like the aroma of coffee, including many people with diabetes. It has been reported that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but some US researchers have pointed out that caffeine in coffee can increase blood sugar in diabetics, especially after meals. This may be related to the fact that after drinking coffee, it interferes with the process of blood transporting glucose to muscle cells and stimulates the release of epinephrine, which leads to an increase in blood sugar levels. Therefore, diabetics should avoid drinking a lot of coffee, can drink coffee as an additional meal, but can not be too frequent, generally not more than 1 cup a day is appropriate. When drinking, should avoid putting sugar or coffee "three in one", prevent excessive energy intake.

Tea is light.

Tea contains a variety of nutrients, such as caffeine, theophylline, vitamins, as well as many trace elements beneficial to the human body, so it has the effect of fitness and disease treatment on the human body. For diabetic patients, tea can also be used as a healthy drink to eliminate fatigue, promote metabolism, and even play a role in diuresis, blood pressure reduction, lipid reduction and so on. People with diabetes can choose their favorite tea drinks and drink about 1500-2000ml a day. But generally do not recommend that patients drink very strong tea, with light is appropriate.
