Can diabetic patients consume honey
Experiments have shown that although honey contains more than 65% of reducing sugars, but the metabolism of simple sugars is not affected by insulin, so diabetic patients (whether type I or type II) can consume honey in small doses throughout the day, because the hypoglycemic effect of acetylcholine in honey exceeds the glucose glucose glucose, which will not cause a significant increase in blood glucose. If diabetic patients consume too much, the hypoglycemic effect of glucose greatly exceeds the hypoglycemic effect of acetylcholine, which will lead to a corresponding rise in blood glucose. Therefore, diabetic patients should not take too much honey per day, 25-30 grams per day is appropriate.
