People with type-2 diabetes can consume coffee, tea (without sugar), or plain water, instead of soda, energy drinks, fruit drinks etc. A recent study conducted at Harvard found that people with type-2 diabetes who regularly consume sugar-heavy drinks, such as soda, are more likely to die prematurely due to heart disease.
The research finding was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) this April. It is claimed to be one of the first studies to look at the effects of sugary drinks on people with type 2 diabetes.
