Is honey a good item to eat? Can a diabetic eat honey?

Answer 1

My doctor told me to avoid it completely. It is a natural sugar though so it is better than cane sugar, but in reality no sugar is good for a diabetic.

Answer 4

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.

Can Diabetics eat honey?

This is a common question. Sweeteners are divided into two categories: nutritive and nonnutritive.

* Nutritive means that the sweetener contains some type of nutritional value such as carbohydrates, calories or small amounts of vitamins or minerals.
* Nonnutritive means that the sweetener is basically calorie-free and doesn't contribute to the nutritional value of the diet.

Nonnutritive sweeteners include saccharin (found in Sweet'n Low), aspartame (found in NutraSweet or Equal), acesulfame-K (found in Sunett) and sucralose (the newest artificial sweetener on the market, found in Splenda). These "sugar substitutes" may help people with diabetes decrease total carbohydrate intake.

Nutritive sweeteners include sugar, corn syrup and other corn sweeteners, fructose, dextrose, honey, lactose, concentrated fruit juice, and sugar alcohols (such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol; often found in sugar-free gum or candy). These sweeteners do not cause blood sugar levels to rise any more than similar amounts of carbohydrates in complex starches, such as breads, cereal and pasta. The total amount of carbohydrates in a food is the key, not the amount of sugar.

Honey and fructose are both nutritive sweeteners; both contain carbohydrates and calories and can be eaten by people with diabetes, but, as with any carbohydrate-containing food, larger amounts may raise blood sugar levels. High levels of fructose have been known to cause diarrhea and may, in fact, raise the levels of blood fats.

Since each person reacts differently to foods containing carbohydrates, your best way of determining the sweetener that's right for you is to test your blood sugar levels before you eat and again two hours later. If you notice a significant increase when you use honey or fructose, try a nonnutritive sweetener instead. This can be a complicated process, and I encourage you to find a registered dietitian in your area who specializes in diabetes to help you plan a diet that meets your individual needs.

The benefits of honey:

Honey contains trace amounts of vitamins and minerals, is an antioxidant, and can help a person get used to natural allergens - if the honey is from the area they live in :) It's a very handy little healing tool too - it has been used for centuries to help wounds heal as honey helps to regrow skin!

It can be an excellent addition to your diet! But you have to remember, it is a sugar - and that can cause complications with the diabetes!

Answer 6

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be CURED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.
