Can honey be used as sugar substitute for diabetics?

I work at a health food store and no sugar is not a complete no-no for diabetics. Honey is a good substitute, along with stevia which is a natural sugar substitue and splenda. Also, cinnamon is a very good subsitute. Of course it cant be used for everything and its not sugar but for some flavoring. Hope this was helpful

I agree that honey ais good for sugar subtitution ^^ It's really healty drink ^^ Trust me

u can sometimes take honey becoz its better than taking sweets.......but too much of honey or eating it regularly is not good for diabetes

If you are a diabetic then honey is a no, no. The basic component of honey is sugar! so you are just trading one for the other. The first response mentioned Stevia and it's the only substitute I would use. Stevia regulates your blood sugar, meaning it helps to keep it level. It is ok to have sweets, as long as you take some precautions. Say you want some ice cream? sprinkle some cinnamon on it. Add Stevia to the milk for your cereal, etc. Also it's good to have on hand one of the meters. Always stay in touch with your Dr.

No sugar is not a no no if you have diabetes. It is high carb foods that is messing up our bodies. I have been a diabetic for years and my doctor has found a way to help me take control of this disease...by putting me on a low carb diet. I still use sugar but not a lot. Even the artificial sweeteners will make you have a rise in your sugar blood level. I eat Chocolate too but not a lot. Only dark chocolate made with real coco. Not milk chocolate. I have learned to live with my diabetes and I eat 4 to 5 times a day.

Here I may suggest you a remedy for diabetics conditions . daily in the morning after getting up from bed drink 4-5 glass of worm water. Do not take any intake till 3/4 hour after you drink warer . There after you can take your tea/ coffee or milk . this certainly reduce your diabetic count. I suggest to measure your sugar count before you start this above treatment, and after say 6 months you can have certainaly a change in your count.

honey is also a no-no since it can also trigger diabetes

Honey is just as bad as sugar. Honey has the highest calorie content of all sugars with 65 calories/tablespoon, compared to the 48 calories/tablespoon found in table sugar. Check out this web site about sugar and honey. You'll want get them both out of your diet http://www.healingdaily.c... www.nancyappleton.com

In stead of sugar you should use honey and lemon to reduce diabetes

Yes, honey can elevate your blood sugar. Try instead natural sweetners like stevia, xylitol, molasses, maple syrup. Stevia actually helps to control your blood sugar if taken long enough. Go to your search engine and check out these sweetners and see which one is for you.
