Swapping sugary drinks for cups of coffee or tea may extend the lifespans of diabetic people
A new study has suggested that drinking more cups or tea or coffee throughout the day could help those with diabetes live longer lives. Type 2 diabetes affects approximately 3.9million people in Britain, causing symptoms such as high blood sugar levels which can result in heart attacks or strokes.
The scientists carried out a study which spanned over 18 years, tracking participants' drinking habits and how it affected their health. 15,000 people in America with type 2 diabetes and an average age of 61 took part in the experiment, the full details of which were published in the British Medical Journal.
Those who opted to drink more coffee and tea after they were diagnosed with diabetes had an 18 per cent lower risk of an early death, the team found. There were 7,638 deaths among the 15,486 diabetics, working out to around 49 per cent. Approximately 3,447 participants developed heart disease.
