Is Honey Good for Diabetes ?

DR. DAMANJIT DUGGAL,  MBBS, MD

There may be risks to consuming honey, especially if you have diabetes. These may include:

It causes Blood Sugar Spikes

Some Honey varieties contain added sugar which can affect your blood sugar differently.

Consuming raw, unprocessed honey with a compromised immune system can cause dangerous infections.

Honey is a natural sugar so it will always spike up your blood sugar.

Also honey is sweeter than sugar, so it’s not a one-to-one swap

As a diabetic honey should be always used in moderation.
