Many of us enjoy flavoured green tea during the day, but have you ever wondered if it has any effect on blood sugar? Today I’m running the test on myself to find out!

Disclaimer: These are my personal readings & I’m not a diabetic. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics. My own results can vary by 10-15% day to day. Each person should test food items on themselves ideally. Glycemic load, calories, quality & quantity of food, all of these matter. Finally, I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice.
.
How to see my results: Best is to see how different food items compare with each other as an indication, rather than looking at my absolute numbers.
.
Why I’m doing this if I’m not a diabetic: I’ve noticed that having steady glucose levels makes me feel good & I get lesser food cravings. Plus, prevention is the best medicine. Research today shows that high blood sugar variability over time can lead to diabetes, heart disease & obesity. Please see the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder & Jessie Inchauspé.

My personal aim:
1. Blood sugar increase after eating = Approx. 30mg/dl or lower
2. Return to baseline = Within 2-3 hours after eating
3. Range = Be within 70-120mg/dl for 80% of the day
