Ito En - Sencha Shot - Japanese Green Tea, 6.4 fl oz (1 can/190 mL) (1 serving(s)) and Tropicana Stevia Sweetener (1 piece)

Choose unsweetened sencha or plain brewed green tea; check the can for added sugar, juice, syrup, or maltodextrin.

If using the Tropicana stevia sweetener, try a smaller amount or stop it for several days to see whether the sweetener blend is contributing.

Drink the tea with or after a meal rather than on an empty stomach, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Pair it with protein or fat, such as an egg, plain Greek yogurt, tofu, or a small handful of nuts, instead of drinking it alone.

Avoid combining the tea with higher-sugar foods or drinks in the same hour, including fruit juice, pastries, or sweetened coffee drinks.

Try decaffeinated green tea or a half-caffeinated serving; caffeine can raise glucose in some people even without added sugar.
