You should be fine: As long as your green tea is not sweetened with sugar and you are taking your medications with water you should be fine. Remember, moderation is key to everything in life. 3 cups is ok but depends on your cup size. The cup volume should be no more than 4-6 fluid ounces or 120 - 170 ml. Also remember to drink plenty of water daily and Monitor your blood sugar regularly. Take care!
