Decaf Tea & Blood Sugar Tests: Everything You Need to Know


Question
Hi. I have a couple of questions. First, I know that decaf coffee has some amounts of caffeine in it, but is the same true for decaf tea? If so, how much caffeine is in decaf tea?


Also, what is the test called when you go to the doctor and they draw blood and test for sugar? Is that called a blood sugar test? Do they do this test to see if a person has developed diabetes? Thanks in advance!

Answer
