Diabetes patients can drink Panax notoginseng leaf tea, but the following points should be noted:
1. Condition control: The prerequisite for diabetes patients to consume Panax notoginseng leaf tea is that their condition is effectively controlled. If blood glucose levels are well managed without signs of elevation, moderate consumption is generally acceptable. However, if the condition is uncontrolled, tea consumption should be avoided to prevent blood sugar fluctuations.

Please note that specific consumption guidelines should be determined according to individual conditions and physician recommendations.
