Tea

With diabetes you can not drink those sugary drinks like coke and fruit juice, so it is hard sometimes to get enough fluids.

 

After years of drinking coke, water may be just too bland for you. Teas are a nice alternative to coke and it has flavor that water can not provide.

 

There are three different kinds of teas, black, green, and oolong; all three of these teas have flavonoids.

 

The amount of flavonoids in each tea depends on different factors like the size of the leaves and how the tea is prepared. Drinking tea is a nice alternative to water but is a better for you than a coke.
