Tea beneficial for diabetics

Black tea can possibly be beneficial for people suffering from diabetes. In people with diabetes the body is no longer reacting properly to insulin. Insulin is made in the pancreas and it makes possible for the cells of the body to absorb glucose. In diabetics the level of glucose in the blood is often too high, because they don’t have enough insulin.

Now it has been discovered that black tea contains a substance that mimics insulin. Researchers at the University of Dundee want to investigate if this substance can be used for treating diabetes. Success is not guaranteed though. The researchers advice diabetics not to suddenly start drinking liters of black tea and to keep taking their medication.
