Well not a cure, but a help perhaps. Being from up North and of a certain generation, I'm what's known here as a 'tea-wife'. I drink loads of the stuff. It seemed to me that the more I drank, the lower my numbers. So, these last few days I've been experimenting on myself. For two days I had at least a litre and a half* and my numbers stayed below 9 with a low of 4.3, then a day with no tea, 😱 a high of 12.6.
This not a 'rigorous' experiment of course, but if there are any other tea drinkers out there, maybe you could try it too. I don't know if the kind of tea matters but I've been drinking Whittards Earl Grey with semi-skimmed and no sugar.
* I have a large vacuum flask I fill in the morning and have cups at regular intervals, especially with meals.
