Can diabetic person eat honey

The diabetes research group of Beijing hospital screened 50 kinds of single traditional Chinese medicine for hypoglycemic effect, and found 35 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine with hypoglycemic effect, of which 11 kinds had obvious hypoglycemic effect, and honey was one of them. Therefore, it can be said that honey (naturally mature honey) is sweet but has hypoglycemic effect, which can be used for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. As early as in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongliang's synopsis of the Golden Chamber mentioned the use of honey to treat diabetes.

Relevant medical experts believe that the content of glucose and fructose in good quality honey accounts for about 70% - 80%. These two sugars are monosaccharides, which are easily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, if the blood sugar is unstable, it is not suitable to take honey, so as not to cause blood sugar fluctuations. However, patients with diabetes can take honey appropriately when their blood sugar control is ideal, but they should also reduce the intake of other starch foods.

After multiple treatments for diabetes, when blood sugar and urine sugar have been controlled, if honey is needed for other reasons, a part of the staple food of the day should be deducted at the same time (50g honey minus 50g grain). At the beginning of eating honey, we should also pay attention to the change of urine sugar, and adjust the dosage in time according to the change of urine sugar. In short, in the case of unstable condition, it is better not to eat honey. It is best to use it under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine when necessary.
