There is no benefit in making honey a substitute for sugar in the diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect the level of sugar in the blood. Honey contains more sugars than granular sugar, so you can use less honey instead of sugar to sweeten some foods. .
A small spoon of honey actually contains a little more carbohydrates and more calories than a teaspoon of granular sugar.
If you prefer the taste of honey, use it, but only reasonably, and you should calculate the carbohydrates in the honey if it is part of the eating plan for diabetes.
