Diabetic patients can eat honey and royal jelly when their blood sugar is under stable control, but they should eat them in moderation.
The main components of honey are glucose and fructose, and it also contains sucrose, minerals, organic acids, vitamins, aromatic substances and other nutrients. Honey has a glycemic index of 73, which is a high glycemic index food. The main nutrients of royal jelly are proteins and amino acids. Different royal jelly has different compositions, and there is no specific glycemic index yet, but the glycemic index of royal jelly is generally higher.
Diabetic patients with stable blood sugar control can eat honey and royal jelly, but because of the high glycemic index of both, consumption may cause blood sugar fluctuations, so diabetic patients should be careful to consume in moderation to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. Patients with poor blood sugar control are not recommended to consume them to avoid further elevation of blood sugar and acute complications.
It is recommended that diabetic people should allocate their diet reasonably and avoid foods with high sugar content, so as not to be detrimental to blood glucose control, and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
