Manuka Honey and Diabetes
Manuka honey is a natural wholefood that many people enjoy — but if you are living with diabetes, there are some important things to understand before adding it to your diet.
First and most importantly: Manuka honey is still a sugar. Like all honey, it is high in natural sugars and will raise your blood glucose. It is not a treatment for diabetes and should not be used to manage blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, please talk to your doctor or dietitian before making any changes to your diet.
It is still sugar — portion matters
Manuka honey contains roughly the same energy as other sugars. If you choose to enjoy it, use small amounts and count it within your overall carbohydrate intake, just as you would any sweetener.
As a swap for refined sugar
Some people prefer to use a small amount of honey in place of refined sugar for its flavour. This is a personal choice and should fit within the plan you have agreed with your healthcare team.
Choosing quality
If you do buy Manuka honey, look for a certified MGO grade and independent test results so you know you're getting genuine honey.
The bottom line: Manuka honey is a food to be enjoyed in moderation, not a remedy. Always follow the advice of your healthcare professional when managing diabetes.
