Additionally advantageous to people with diabetes or insulin resistance is kombucha consumption. According to a study, the tea can block -amylase, a pancreatic protein that raises postprandial (after meal) glucose levels. The Pharmaceutical Biology study found that after 30 days, kombucha had a therapeutic impact on diabetic rats and also enhanced liver and kidney function.

The results raise the possibility that, in the future, kombucha may be used to treat diabetes in addition to more conventional methods including weight loss, diet, exercise, oral drugs, and insulin. However, more research is required.
