You can drink 7 kinds of tea if you want to lower your blood sugar easily.

Although the appearance is not beautiful, it contains more tea polysaccharides, which is helpful to improve the function of damaged islet β cells. However, tea polysaccharide is not heat-resistant, so it is recommended to brew it with warm water of about 50 degrees Celsius, which has a higher absorption rate.
Mulberry leaf tea.
