Which of the two i.e. Tea and Coffee is more T2 friendly or is it a matter of preference?

I drink both black without sugar / sweeteners, I prefer coffee to tea tho'.

I drink both neither seem to have much impact on my BG but then everyone is different as is usual the best is to test.

I drink both with nothing added except a tiny tiny pinch of salt in an espresso - they don't affect my blood sugar at all though some people say that the caffeine in coffee can affect them - the only way is to test and see, if you take milk try swapping for cream as it has less carbs

Neither has any real effect on blood sugar so OK.

I drink both - with coffee I have a latte of a morning and tea the rest of the day. I have discovered though that having a cup of tea whilst eating my lunch or tea can send my readings up. Which I think is odd, particularly as a latte has no impact on my morning readings!

I drink black coffee with no sugar, tea with milk and one sweetener and no effect with rising levels

It's what you might be putting into them in the way of carbs (e.g sugar, skimmed milk, etc) that could be an issue rather than the drinks themselves.
