糖尿病人可以喝铁观音茶叶吗？会降低二甲双胍的效果吗？

首先，可以肯定的是，糖尿病患者可以喝铁观音茶。

我认识的一位糖尿病患者，今年已经80多岁了，得病20多年，至今仍好好的，除了眼睛有点看不清楚外，平时还经常在外面遛弯。他就是一位喝茶的爱好者，生在产茶叶的故乡，从少不了茶喝，几乎一天得喝上好几壶。

说到这，可能又会有患者说了，糖尿病喝茶是不是可以帮助降低血糖呢？这也是很多患者的做法，就是把希望寄托于喝茶上，觉得喝茶降血糖不伤身，比吃药更安全。难不成，这位80岁的患者，血糖控制得这么好，就是喝茶喝的吗？

显然不是的！糖尿病患者固然可以喝茶，但是降糖效果有限，患者完全把希望寄托于喝茶上，并不靠谱。糖友可以把喝茶当做日常的饮水用，但不能当做降糖药用，另外还需注意喝茶的方式。

一是要求不能喝茶的患者就别喝，包括贫血、营养不良、消化道溃疡、神经衰弱等疾病的患者，最好别喝茶；

二是要求喝茶不吃药，千万别用茶水送药；

三是要求空腹不喝茶，饭后不立即喝茶，不喝隔夜茶，不喝凉茶，睡前不喝茶，不喝太浓的茶等。

其次，糖尿病患者喝茶对二甲双胍疗效的影响。

上面也提到了，糖友喝茶需要注意一点，就是不要用茶水送药，一般二甲双胍都是在饭前或饭后服用的，而空腹和饭后也是不能喝茶的，最佳的喝茶时间应该是在两餐之间，吃完饭两个小时左右再喝，对二甲双胍的疗效是不会造成影响的。相反，虽然喝茶不能起到很好的降糖效果，确实有辅助的作用，还能保护血管，对预防并发症也是有好处的。当然，前提是要注意上述几点的要求。

另外，糖尿病患者可以喝什么茶，并非所有的糖友都可以喝茶，也并非所有的茶饮都适合糖友喝。对于糖尿病患者而言，可以选择一些清淡的茶叶，比如绿茶、玉米须茶、苦丁茶、苦荞茶、苦瓜茶、菊花茶、桑叶茶、蒲公英茶、番石榴茶等，都很适合糖友日常饮用。

First of all, to be sure, diabetics can drink tea.

A diabetic patient I know is in his 80s this year and has been ill for more than 20 years. He is still in good condition. Except for the fact that his eyes are a little unclear, he often walks outside. He is a tea lover, born in the hometown of tea production, he never misses tea, and he has to drink several pots almost a day.

Speaking of this, there may be patients who say, can drinking tea for diabetes help lower blood sugar? This is also the practice of many patients, that is, pinning their hopes on drinking tea, thinking that drinking tea to lower blood sugar will not hurt the body, and it is safer than taking medicine. Could it be that this 80-year-old patient, with such good blood sugar control, just drinks tea?

Obviously not! Of course, diabetic patients can drink tea, but the hypoglycemic effect is limited, and patients completely pin their hopes on drinking tea, which is not reliable. People with diabetes can use tea as a daily drinking water, but not as a hypoglycemic medicine. In addition, they need to pay attention to the way of drinking tea.

First, it is required that patients who cannot drink tea should not drink it, including patients with anemia, malnutrition, peptic ulcer, neurasthenia and other diseases, it is best not to drink tea;

Second, it is required to drink tea without taking medicine, and never use tea to deliver medicine;

The third is to ask not to drink tea on an empty stomach, not to drink tea immediately after meals, not to drink overnight tea, not to drink herbal tea, not to drink tea before going to bed, not to drink too strong tea, etc.

Second, the effect of tea drinking on the efficacy of metformin in diabetic patients.

As mentioned above, sugar friends need to pay attention to drinking tea, that is, do not use tea to deliver medicine. Generally, metformin is taken before or after meals, and you cannot drink tea on an empty stomach or after meals. The best time to drink tea It should be between meals and drink it about two hours after eating, and it will not affect the efficacy of metformin. On the contrary, although drinking tea does not have a good hypoglycemic effect, it does have an auxiliary effect, and it can also protect blood vessels, which is also good for preventing complications. Of course, the premise is to pay attention to the requirements of the above points.

In addition, what kind of tea can diabetics drink, not all diabetics can drink tea, and not all teas are suitable for diabetics. For diabetic patients, you can choose some light tea, such as green tea, corn silk tea, Kuding tea, bitter buckwheat tea, bitter melon tea, chrysanthemum tea, mulberry leaf tea, dandelion tea, guava tea, etc., which are all suitable for sugar. Friends for daily drinking.
