Tea with Lemon (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Drink the tea without added sugar, honey, syrups, or sweetened lemon concentrates; use fresh lemon juice instead.

Have the tea with a small protein-rich snack, such as plain Greek yogurt or a boiled egg, rather than on an empty stomach.

Add a small portion of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside the tea to slow glucose absorption.

Choose decaffeinated tea or reduce brewing strength if caffeine seems to trigger your glucose changes.

Avoid pairing lemon tea with refined baked goods, candy, or sweet biscuits; choose berries or an apple with nut butter if you want a snack.

Check whether the reaction is linked to a specific sweetener, flavored tea blend, or medication, and discuss repeated low readings with a healthcare professional.
