Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
People with diabetes can drink pomegranate peel tea. Pomegranates are a type of tropical fruit containing a unique element—chromium. Most individuals with diabetes are deficient in chromium, which helps enhance insulin activity in the body and thereby aids in blood glucose control. Therefore, people with diabetes may consume pomegranate peel tea.
