I am a Type 2 man for the past 10 years and is taking 2 mg of slow release Metformin daily. Normally my early morning blood sugar reading is above 7.

I have asked by my close friend to drink Green Gava Leaf tea to reduce my sugar levels. (Take 3 green leaves, add hotwater in a cup, allow it to brew for 5 minutes)

For the past 3 days, I have observed that my sugar has dropped below 6. Yesterday, I dropped my Metformin to 1.5 mg, still my sugar reading is 6 this morning.

Is this a blip or real? Any experience from team members? Kindly advise.

Regards, RLN Australia.

According to this article, it affects BG by blocking the absorption of sucrose and maltose. So if you're eating a very low carb diet, it wouldn't make much difference. You'd think.

I only drink black coffee with out any sugar, so it is of no useful benefit for me to drink green leafy material "tea".
