Beverage and thyroid
Tea and coffee reduce levothyroxine absorption significantly when taken with the tablet. This is one of the most common reasons a dose seems not to be working.
Can I eat green tea every day with thyroid?
Daily is not a good idea. Useful, though the effect size is smaller than marketing suggests. Keep it occasional — fine; keep it away from your thyroid tablet by an hour.
Does green tea raise blood sugar?
Green Tea contains little or no available carbohydrate, so glycemic index does not really apply to it and it has minimal direct effect on blood glucose. What matters here is the rest of the meal it is part of.
What should I eat green tea with if I have thyroid?
Fine; keep it away from your thyroid tablet by an hour. As a general rule, adding protein — curd, eggs, sprouts, paneer or nuts — to any carbohydrate meaningfully lowers the glucose response of the whole meal.

Medical disclaimer
This is general dietary information, not medical advice. Never change your levothyroxine dose or timing based on a web page — including this one. Note that calcium and iron supplements, and dairy, reduce levothyroxine absorption and are usually kept four hours away from the tablet. Discuss any dietary change with the doctor managing your thyroid, particularly if you are pregnant, when thyroid requirements change.
