I am always drinking tea. Can have up to 10 cups per day easily. Apparently your background insulin takes care of it, but I would test just in case yours doesn't quite cope with it.. I have skimmed milk, but I think full-fat gives less of a spike. Enjoy your cuppa, don't deprive yourself.

- People telling me how to control my diabetes. My health. Isms. People walking their dogs off leads in illegal areas. Meat that bleeds. Late buses.
As many as you like. I'm at least 6. As I mentioned in the last post of yours I commented on I don't personally need to count milk but the amount of milk most have in a cuppa probably needs nothing anyway. Bang on.

I probably drink 3 mugs of tea with milk and two cups of green tea a day, depending on the amount of milk you use in your tea a small amount should have a negligible effect on your bg levels, if you like your tea milky then look for the Lactofree milk in the supermarkets, it contains around half the carbs of normal milk.
