Detox tea (1 piece)

Stop drinking the detox tea for now and check the label for stimulant, laxative, diuretic, or blood-sugar-lowering herbs; avoid it until you can discuss the ingredients with a clinician or pharmacist.

If you feel shaky, sweaty, confused, weak, dizzy, or have palpitations, check your glucose if you can and treat a confirmed low promptly with a fast-acting carbohydrate according to your diabetes care plan.

Do not drink detox tea on an empty stomach; if you choose to have tea later, take it with a balanced meal or snack containing protein, fat, and fiber.

Choose steady-energy options such as plain Greek yogurt with berries, a small apple with peanut butter, hummus with non-starchy vegetables, or eggs with whole-grain toast.

Stay hydrated with water or an unsweetened non-detox herbal tea, especially if the product causes diarrhea or frequent urination.

Seek urgent medical care for severe confusion, fainting, seizure, inability to swallow, or symptoms that do not improve; contact your prescriber soon if you use insulin or glucose-lowering medication.
