Can People with Diabetes Eat Honey?

Choose Raw Honey Over Processed

Like most food, honey can come in processed or raw forms. Raw honey retains most of its nutrients because it did not have to go through the heating and filtering processes of processed honey. Opt for raw honey always and be cautious of the product you use. Most off the shelf honey are processed honey and some products may be mixed with syrup.  Read the nutrition and ingredients labels and always buy from a trusted maker.

Including honey in small amounts should not cause your blood sugar level to dramatically increase. Thus, those who have diabetes can safely consume raw honey and use it as a sugar substitute. It is way better than having sugar, even in moderation.
