This question is asked about every 2-3 days.
Diabetes is not simply about not having sugar but about keeping your sugar levels at a normal reading.
Carbs are what raises blood sugar.Honey is pure sugar.As always count the carbs.If you prefer to have some honey in your tea instead of a piece of cake so be it.
Just keep on counting carbs.

I was going to say no, but after looking on the American Diabetes Association website, I see they say you can have ANY sweetener, including sugar or honey...but of course going overboard on sweets means watching the carbohydrates...In other words, it all has to balance out.Continuous uncontrolled high blood glucose levels over time can lead to problems like blindness, kidney problems, neuropathy, etc.You have to take insulin or other meds that the doctors tell you to in order to control your blood glucose levels. If you like a lot of sugars and concentrated sweets in your diet, then you may have to test your blood glucose levels more often than someone who more closely monitors their dietary intake of concentrated sweets.

Diabetics can eat all sweet items. However, they must check the carbs, and allow for them in their meal plan. I have not checked honey to see how high they are in carbs, but, I am sure you would be able to add it without any problem.

I can not this does sound strange, because honey is 100 percent natural.Some people can not drink 100 percent natural juice.
I do not think diabetes was really made to understand.

Yes. Diabetics can technically eat whatever they want, they just need to make sure to take insulin for the consumed carbs.

Yes. Honey requires lower levels of insulin compared to regular white sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels as rapidly as white sugar, due to the fructose it contains.

Yes, but honey is pure glucose so be aware.
