No pure honey is certainly not harmful for diabetes. I am consuming honey everyday 2 tablespoon in morning and 2 tablespoon daily at night before going to sleep. My blood sugar level is not fluctuating. It is stable and no change is noticeable. I sleep very nicely.

where to find

Honey is nothing but sugar in liquid form.No doubt it has many health giving ingredients,but it is still sugar,and therefore harmful for a diabetic.

The sugar content in honey is a natural ingredient and according to me it should not give adverse effect on diabetics if is consumed moderately. However an expert doctors' opinion is solicited

Honey is very rich in calories. While it does not affect insulin levels, it is certainly not good for diabetics, same as nuts, banana or other high calory stuff. Diabetic diet should be composed of food containing fibres, green stuff, vitamins etc.

Sugar is the major enemy of diabetic patients. So, honey or any other thing which caontains sugar must be avoided.
