What drink on low GI?

Now these drinks do sound very nice - they are just the same as tea though with regards to cals etc? I must try some!

Green Tea! Twinnings do a selection with mango/ginger/pear and apple. Lots of different ones.
Though i've recently found Whittards pretty good 🙂

Its supposed to help with blood sugars, and I secretely believe it does! I've been drinking it for ages now, I do swear by it.

And my favourite is Jackson's Lemon Green tea.

Caffeine apparently inhibits the action of insulin and thus makes your blood sugar higher.

Not sure how much caffeine it takes to do this.

Possibly it does for some people. But not for most of the diabetics I've met in cyberspace.

These people share my opinion on caffeine: Java Jive 🙂

Green tea is naturally low in caffeine and very good for you as it is full of antioxidants, don't go for the cheap commercially produced brands like Tetley or PG but opt for the proper Chinese Green Tea available in good health shops such as Holland & Barrett.

I used to drink coffee very regularly. I found it was making my blood sugar levels very erratic and unstable, so I switched for green tea! Pretty sure it in fact helps as well as being yummy!
Still drink coffee occasionally when i'm out but I just can't drink it anymore! 🙂

Hi Lucy, As far as I know the chai has the same carbs as normal tea - it doesn't affect my sugar levels and the ingredients don't say it contains sugar so I think you should be ok
