Patients with hyperglycemia should not eat honey. Honey contains very limited nutrients other than some sugar, so patients with hyperglycemia will only experience a significant increase in blood sugar after eating honey. Patients with hyperglycemia are not allowed to eat honey, sugar, cane sugar and similar foods when they are not having a hypoglycemic episode. However, if a patient with hyperglycemia is treated with hypoglycemic medication and has an obvious hypoglycemia, and the patient is still conscious at the time of the hypoglycemia, then the patient can eat some honey, which has sugar in it to help the patient’s blood sugar rise quickly, thus relieving the symptoms of hypoglycemia. In summary, it is strictly forbidden to eat honey when hypoglycemia is not present, but when hypoglycemia is present and the patient is conscious, honey can be used to correct the hypoglycemia.
