Tea (Lemon Flavored, Instant Powder, Unsweetened) (1 Tsp, Rounded)

Check the powder’s ingredient list for caffeine, maltodextrin, dextrose, and sweeteners; choose a plain lemon tea or brewed tea with fewer additives if possible.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; have it with a small balanced snack such as plain Greek yogurt, nuts, or a boiled egg.

Use a smaller serving or dilute the drink, and sip it slowly rather than consuming it quickly.

If caffeine seems to trigger the drop, switch to decaffeinated lemon tea or a caffeine-free herbal tea.

Track the timing of your glucose change along with the amount consumed and what you ate beforehand, so you can identify a repeatable trigger.

If you have symptoms of low glucose, recurrent significant drops, take glucose-lowering medication, or have diabetes, discuss the pattern with a clinician promptly.
