We demonstrated that black tea reduced incremental blood glucose after sucrose consumption at 60, 90 and 120 minutes compared with placebo, wrote the authors of the study.

The data confirm that polyphenols lower glycemic response and may be responsible for the lower rates of diabetes observed with tea and coffee consumption, said Peter Clifton, M.D., PhD., professor of nutrition at the University of South Australia in Adelaide, who recently conducted a review of the role of dietary polyphenols (in tea, cinnamon, coffee, chocolate, pomegranate, red wine and olive oil, among others) in regulating glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, which was published in Nutrients.

Echoing the findings, a study in mice compared the effects of black and green tea extract on blood sugar levels.

Results found that they both lowered blood sugar and improved how the body metabolised sugar.

Carbs with a low GI value are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised and cause a lower and slower rise in blood glucose and therefore insulin levels.
