Diabetic patients with poor blood sugar control are advised not to drink honey, as it contains a large amount of sugar, which can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar, which is not conducive to the control of the condition. If blood sugar control is relatively stable, it can be consumed in small amounts.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by absolute or relative insufficiency of pancreatic secretion or impaired utilization of insulin, and is mainly characterized by hyperglycemia, so the treatment of diabetes mellitus is mainly to lower sugar, and honey contains a large amount of sugar, and diabetic patients who drink honey will lead to a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is detrimental to the control of the disease. If a diabetic patient’s condition is relatively stable and his blood sugar control is good, he can consume a small amount of honey, which has little effect on his blood sugar.
Diabetic patients can go to the nutrition department of the hospital for further counseling on dietary health.
