What kind of sugar is acceptable for diabetic people? Is honey ok?

Question

Would honey be ok if consumed by diabetic people? How about sugar from fruit? (fluctosa?) Or is it better to use sugar replacement? (I don't know the name for this)

Answer 1

The above answers are great. This is a little different, though--

You are probably dealing with an addiction and withdrawal problem. And it's probably not limited to just the two items you mentioned. All national food brands put additives in their food designed to increase appetite, and make us crave their processed foods. On the label, they are called 'spices', or 'broth'. And to add insult to injury, in the processing they destroy the enzymes and other nutrients necessary for our well-being.

This isn't a matter of just giving up a couple of unhealthy items--your health can only be kept by a MAJOR CHANGE in lifestyle and diet.

You MUST drop most of your simple carbs (processed sugar, bleached flour) and start eating complex carbs (veggies and beans). You MUST balance your intake with 65% complex carbs, 20 % or LESS fats, and about 15% protein.

Or you can have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene, or go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities. That is the fate of all who don't take this seriously enough to adjust their lives.

I remember the week I dealt with my addiction to unhealthy foods, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. And I would have never thought I was addicted to anything. I really wish you the best of luck in dealing with your upcoming change in lifestyle--either toward health, or away from it.

Organic cane sugar, stevia, and beet root powder are natural sweeteners--check them out. Avoid artificial sweeteners like Equal and Aspartame because of their long-term problems. Best of luck.

Answer 5

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

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

Honey is a big no-no for diabetics. Sugar from fruit is ok in moderation. Splenda is very good and can be used for baking also. It is best to try to avoid sugar if possible. Don't be fooled by sugar-free items .What they lack in sugar they are high in other things which is bad for diabetics .Read labels carefully.

Answer 7

The only sugar I know of that diabetics can consume without worry is stevia (herb derivative sweetener) and zylitol (from tree bark). Your local health food store will have more information.

Why don't we hear more about Stevia? Because it's expensive and the drug and food industies don't want us to know about it.

This is why people get so sad when they see the amazon forest being cut down as we byte, We will lose a lot of NATURAL and valuable health secrets when it dissapears. Many plant and animal species are only found in rain forests.

Answer 8

Diabetic diets assume no food is completely off limits, but any simple sugar must be used in limited amounts. There is no magic "this is OK and that isn't." Non-caloric sugar substitutes tend to become pretty important in a diabetic's diet.

Answer 9

It all depends on how controlled you are. If your in good control of your glucose levels then honey shouldn't be a problem but control the amounts. A s for fruits, of course you can eat them and you should as you should eat more vegetables, the reason for this is that the fiber in fruits and vegetables slows down the absorption rate of sugars into your bloodstream thus helping to prevent your blood sugars from spiking.

Answer 10

you could research stevia a natural herb sugar replacement. To see if it's compatable with diabetic people. Since any herb is way better than a man made chemical sugar replacement.
