Is tea good for diabetics?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Research suggests that green tea, turmeric tea, hibiscus tea, cinnamon tea, lemon balm tea, chamomile tea, and black tea may improve insulin sensitivity and offer impressive antidiabetic effects. Hence, they can be included in diet. Milk sugars are carbohydrates, particularly lactose, is not good but milk fats are good for diabetes. Hence, you may consume milk seperately in moderation but it is better to not add in tea.

I've been diagnosed with diabetes since I was 25 and have been managing it with insulin. Recently, I came across something called IME9 TABLETS on TV, which is described as an Ayurvedic wonder drug for diabetes and is supposedly approved by the government of India. Is this a legitimate medicine? Has it really been proven to help control blood glucose levels? And most importantly, is it safe to use? What's the deal with this?
IME-9 Tablets are a combination of Ayurvedic herbs and minerals that are marketed for diabetes management. However, as a medical doctor, I would recommend sticking to the insulin therapy prescribed by your healthcare provider for managing your diabetes. Insulin is a proven and effective treatment for diabetes, especially in younger individuals like yourself. While IME-9 Tablets may be approved by the government of India, the efficacy and safety of these tablets in controlling blood glucose levels may not be well-established compared to insulin therapy. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan.
