Is consumption of honey safe for diabetic?

Question

I'm a bee keeper, and have honey avalable and some people question if honey is safe for diabetics.

Answer 1

Honey is glucose in another form, so you have to be very careful. In very limited quantity it is OK (5mls day);

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

Honey has a higher glycemic index rating than does pure glucose, so the answer to that is that it's not a good idea for a diabetic.

That doesn't mean that it can't ever be used, once in a while, say to sweeten a cup of tea or coffee, PROVIDED that this is part of a real meal.

There are other liquid sweetners that are much more appropriate for use by diabetics.

Answer 5

Everything in moderation. i wouldn't eat more than a teaspoon of honey a day, and it should be good quality honey such as Royal Jelly. as you know, it's loaded with vitamins and nutrients. depending on your control, you could probably consume 2 teaspoons if you are a fairly active person. activity is what dictates how many carbohydrates a diabetic can consume. check your blood sugar regularly when eating honey and try to stay active. good luck

Answer 6

Foods need to be pasteurized for people with diabetes. With our compromised immune systems it can be dangerous to eat "Raw " or unpasteurized foods.
I am sorry but the stuff sold in stores is better for us.
Also remember that people still need to count honey as a very simple sugar and carbs.

Answer 7

Pretty much, sugar is sugar. Although I believe in natural (unprocessed) foods whenever possible, as far as effecting blood sugar honey is just the same as refined sugar.

Answer 8

HONEY IS NOT SAFE FOR DIABETICS,,, IT'S PURE GLUCOSE. ONLY USE HONEY FOR DIABETICS IF THEY'RE GOING INTO A HYPOGLYCEMIC SHOCK.

be very careful.......

Answer 9

Probably natural honey would be ok in moderation. But doesn't store-bought honey have a ton of sugar?

Answer 10

Only in limited quantities (one tea spoon per day)
