What type of honey is advisable for diabetics?

Answer 1

Any type of honey is a significant source of carbohydrates and should be consumed only in the context of your diet plan. It is not automatically safe because it is not "sugar".

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

According to the experts it is not the TYPE but the actual consumption of carbohydrates. I got this excerpt from the National Honey Board:

Diabetics must control their total intake of carbohydrates, not the type. Therefore, honey may be included in a diabetic diet. They must, however, comply with the medical regime and diet instructions prescribed by their individual healthcare providers to keep blood sugar levels under control.

Answer 4

There is a honey out there that i have seen in health food stores that is made for diabetics.

Answer 5

No honey. All honey is, is sugar. That gives your insulin a boost. The only sweet things recommended are things sweetened with artificial sweeteners, ones that don't boost insulin production.

Answer 6

I would say no honey, unless your blood sugar is below 70. Honey makes your blood sugar rise too fast.

Answer 7

Honey is just another simple sugar. As bad as table sugar.

Answer 8

Just stick to your honey (spouse, etc.) and stay away from honey.. If you can't, just count carbs and administer insulin that way. If you're type 2 and not on insulin, definately stay away from honey.
