Not really. If by "natural" you mean "not artificial", then no. OTOH,
if you're only slightly above normal range in BG, a teaspoon of "real"
sugar in a single cup of tea won't kill you.

I was already using artificial sweeteners in my iced tea because sugar
doesn't dissolve in cold liquids, so I simply started using the
artificial in hot tea, too. I use Splenda (sucralose) because it
tastes better. I use Sweet&Low (saccharine) when Splenda isn't
available. I cannot use Equal (aspartame) because it gives me
headaches.
