Honey is more or less like sugar.It is rich in nutrients.You can use it in small quantities,if your sugar is under control.You cannot use it to sweeten dishe nor eat it with roti/paratha.I have seen some people{non diabetics} doing it.Be very moderate and do not make it a profit

An 8-week study carried out at the University of Tehran, Iran, found that individuals who consumed honey long-term experienced increased blood sugar levels.

However, the study also showed that people with type 2 diabetes who ate the honey lost weight and had reduced cholesterol levels in their blood.

In line with their findings, the researchers in Tehran recommended "cautious consumption" of honey for people with diabetes.
