No, honey is not harmfull bit medrcine for Diabetes. Folloing point should be nored using joney.

1. Honey sjpild be original/ genuine. assure it otherwise dont take.

2. Take it morning 2 tsp honey in a glass of water and mix lemon in it.

3. Never take honey in between two meals.

Glucose found in sugar is far different from general sugar/Glucose.

As far as honey is concerned, it comes from the nectar of flowers and regurgitated through the alimentary canal of the honeybee. It contains fructose and sucrose. Therefore as far as food value is concerned it is like sugar water with some flavors etc.

Honey is a concentrated form of sugar.The type of sugars it contains are easily absorbed in the system.Please treat sugar and honey as more or less same products.Extreme moderation is advisable.

Honey has mor calories . 1 tsp has 65 cal. compared to 1tsp. of table sugar which is 25 cal. it has more carbs. also.

Granulated Sugar

1 teaspoon

4 Carbs

Honey

1 Tablespoon

Please don't go into the trap of consuming honey instead of sugar .you end up with very high sugar levels.

SWEETEST SUGARS

Carbohydrates differ in their degree of sweetness, and complex carbohydrates, such as starches, while being the least sweet, are the best for your body. Carbs ranked from most sweet to least sweet are:

Honey

fructose sugar (fruits, fruit concentrate)

table sugar (sucrose)

complex carbohydrates (starches)

Complex carbs taste less sweet because, being a larger molecule, they don't fit as easily into the sweet receptors of the taste buds as do the more simple sugars.
