Protect against diabetes

It's interesting to note that some study shows green tea may aid with blood sugar regulation and type 2 diabetes prevention. One research found a connection between consuming tea and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and complications from diabetes. Regular tea consumption may also lower inflammation and improve the body's use of insulin. The hormone insulin is responsible for transferring sugar from the circulation to the cells.

A 16-week trial of green tea extract in 92 individuals with type 2 diabetes also showed a reduction in insulin resistance. This might enable improved blood sugar management. Researchers need to conduct an additional study on green tea and diabetes because other studies have produced contradictory findings.
