@carbcounter welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! This discussion and everyone else that commented came from 5 years ago! I wonder how you came upon it? I am interested in your blood sugar results related to licorice tea. (I am a carb counter too.) I agree, the tea is worth a try. It is not like we’re talking about licorice candy! That could be bad. I encourage you to also check out the link posted by @colleenyoung (the Mayo Clinic Connect Director) in the thread above. She is a trustworthy and helpful person.
