Research suggests that green tea, turmeric tea, hibiscus tea, cinnamon tea, lemon balm tea, chamomile tea, and black tea may improve insulin sensitivity and offer impressive antidiabetic effects. Hence, they can be included in diet. Milk sugars are carbohydrates, particularly lactose, is not good but milk fats are good for diabetes. Hence, you may consume milk seperately in moderation but it is better to not add in tea.

I've noticed the fat under my left underarm has been increasing and I ignored it at first but now it's making me concerned. I really don't want to go through surgery for this - what can I do to reduce it naturally?

Increased fat under the underarm can be due to localized fat accumulation, poor posture, or hormonal factors. You can try targeted exercises like arm circles, push-ups, and chest presses, along with overall weight loss through a balanced diet and regular cardio. If it persists or grows rapidly, a clinical evaluation is advised to rule out any other causes.
