Can people with diabetes drink Kombucha Tea?
Many diabetics report they have had absolutely no problems drinking it; while others may need to reduce their intake of sugars, or adjust their insulin to compensate. One way to reduce the sugar content is to ferment for a longer period of time. A recent lab test done confirmed a sugar value of 1.65 grams in one ounce of Kombucha Tea that had been fermented for 15 days. Keep in mind however, that a long fermentation period will result in an acidic (vinegary) tasting beverage which many people find totally unpalatable.
