Can I use honey instead of sugar in my coffee? I am a diabetic.

Sure, you can.


There is a lot of hype about honey and its miraculous healing properties. If you are a diabetic you can certainly use honey but you should know a few facts. 
Honey is very high in calories and can also raise your blood sugar. If you decide to use honey, use it sparingly.


As far as its medical benefits are concerned, there are only isolated reports which have never been verified in blind randomized trials.


There are reports that applying honey on diabetic wounds can lead to rapid healing. Unfortunately, none of these studies from the Middle East have ever been reproduced and the results have been inconsistent.
