Can a person with diabetes type 2 eat honey ?


I hear contradicting opinions about this (even from doctors).Do you have any experience proving that people with diabetes type 2 can actually include honey in their diet?

Yes you can eat honey my mom uses honey to sweeten her coffee and she's Diabetic. You have to watch your carb intake.

yes, in limited amounts. like any sugar substance be careful of the amount. monitor your blood sugar.

They can eat honey as they can eat any sugar in moderation - as a nurse we actually give honey to some patients who have a hypo when they can't drink thin fluids, etc.

"In recent years a number of "authorities" have claimed that fructose (which is now sold as a powdered sweetener) and honey are useful to diabetics because they are "natural sugars." Well, glucose is the most natural of the sugars, since it is present in all plants and all but one known species of animal. These substances will raise blood sugar far more rapidly than either phase II insulin release, injected insulin, or oral hypoglycemic agents can bring it down. Just eat a few grams of honey or fructose and check your blood sugar every 15 minutes. You will readily prove that "authorities" can be wrong."

No, it's sugar.

Honey can be incorporated into the diet plan the same way as any other sugar or sugary food.
