Honey has a lower glycemic index (GI) than sugar, too. The glycemic index measures how quickly a carbohydrate raises blood sugar levels. Honey has a GI score of 58, and sugar has a GI value of 60. That means honey (like all carbohydrates) raises blood sugar quickly, but not quite as fast as sugar.
Sugar intake is limited on a keto diet, as eating it causes your blood sugar levels to rise. This is an issue, as raised blood sugar levels can...

Read More »If you have type 2 diabetes or are at a high risk for it, you might have heard claims that honey may be better for you than other sweeteners . But while honey may have some health benefits, it’s still a source of simple sugar and carbohydrates. And if you have diabetes , you need to count your carbohydrates throughout the day, especially if you’re using medication like insulin . Here’s what you need to know before you decide how you should handle honey in your diet . Honey is a sweetener. It’s also called an “added sugar ” on food labels because it isn’t naturally part of other foods. Instead, you add it to food in order to sweeten them. Honey is a source of carbohydrates. Those carbohydrates mostly come from glucose and fructose, which are simple sugars. It also contains vitamins and minerals like potassium, calcium, zinc, and vitamin C, and antioxidants. But not in amounts that are significant, so don’t look to honey as a major source of these nutrients. Honey is different from white or “table” sugar because sugar doesn’t have any vitamins and minerals. Honey has a lower glycemic index (GI) than sugar, too. The glycemic index measures how quickly a carbohydrate raises blood sugar levels. Honey has a GI score of 58, and sugar has a GI value of 60. That means honey (like all carbohydrates) raises blood sugar quickly, but not quite as fast as sugar. Still, it’s not a big difference. There’s not likely to be a benefit to swapping sugar for honey if you have diabetes, since they affect your blood sugar in similar ways. If you do choose to eat honey, make sure you know how much you’re getting. Foods that have honey in their name or sauce may contain more honey and carbohydrates than you realize. That can negatively affect your blood sugar and your ability to take the right amount of insulin.
