A new study in mice has discovered that a compound found in green tea known as EGCG promotes the release of insulin from the pancreas. This study has important implications for diabetics as decreased insulin production is the hallmark of late-stage type 2 diabetes.
In this study from this week’s Nutrition & Metabolism tested the effect of EGCG extract on rats with borderline diabetes. Rats receiving the extract had significantly lower risk of developing diabetes compared to rats that didn’t receive one.
The study researchers note that EGCG protects the pancreas’s insulin-producing cells, known as the Islets of Langerhans, from inflammation.

Green Tea is also very good for reducing hypertension and is a very powerful anti-oxident that fights free radicals within the body. It is best to drink it without milk and allow the tea to stand for a while in order to get the best from it..blessings Dave & Chris Hall http://www.zappertek.com.

Beware of conclusions about diabetes based on rat studies ! Diabetes in rats is often an almost opposite disease, with drugs results that benefit rats that harm humans, so concludes Jenny Ruhl on her site Blood Sugar 101. Lets hope this is the case for the green tea / insulin response. Increasing my insulin level is that last thing I need as a type 2 diabetic. What I need is to increase my sensitive to insulin ( decrease insulin resistance in muscle tissue ). High levels of insulin promote fat storage over fat metabolism, are inflammatory to name a few disadvantages. Drink your tea and monitor your blood sugars, and see what happens, and be skeptical.
quite a few of my friends will benifit from this great articile
There are teas that combine the effects of several herbs that work. One-green tea (EGCG), cinnamon, blueberry, sucralose, vilcacora and ginkgo together.

Thanks for this information about green tea. It is another positive thing going for green tea. As you may already know, it is a very good anti-oxidant; As a matter of fact, I drink a lot of both green, and black tea on daily basis; the former as an anti-oxidant, and the later, for its blood pressure-lowering property, something I learnt from you!

Would green tea work the same for insulin dependant diabetics
Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent.’^”-
