Can diabetic patient eat honey daily?

Pure honey has some antioxidants, but biologically it's still simple carbs that your body breaks down into glucose quickly. Daily use is generally not recommended for diabetics. Get your HbA1c checked and let your physician decide if a tiny amount is safe for you.

I tried substituting sugar with organic honey in my tea, but my fasting levels went up within three days. Has anyone else experienced such a quick spike with pure honey? I got so scared that I stopped it immediately.

When we asked the endocrinologist at Apollo, they strictly advised against daily honey consumption for my father. It spikes blood sugar almost as fast as white sugar. You should clearly ask your doctor before making it a habit.

Please don't take this lightly. I used to have honey daily thinking it is natural, but my sugar levels shot up and led to kidney-related complications. Do not experiment with your diet without consulting a specialist first.

My uncle had this same doubt last month! He thought honey is healthy so he could have it daily, but the doc told him honey is actually high in fructose. It's better to stick to safe sweeteners or just avoid it to prevent sudden spikes.
