I've been low carbing for a good 2.5 months now almost since Type 1 diagnosis. I follow the Bernstein method of less than 30gs of Carbs a day and have fairly good results. I am always around 5mmol in the evening and fasting not much different, although around 4.5 mmol following an evening run.
Anyway i drink around 5 cups of green tea a day at work , it suppresses appetite (in my case) and is widely touted as a 'wonder' drink for diabetics (not sure whay). During the working day my BS is around 6mmol all day and i'm starting to think the green tea is having an impact. The labelling states 0.4g Carbs pro portion (200ml) and there is no added sugars / sweetners etc.
Does anyone else have Green tea problems or with hot drinks. Can anyone recommend a good low carb drink , tea , soft drink that doesn't impact BS ? I can't drink water all the time:-(
