Raw Honey and other Natural Sweeteners!

With raw honey and other natural sweeteners diabetics can have their cake and eat it too!

However I would recommend using honey in moderation. For diabetics another natural sweetner is stevia. Stevia has negligible effect on blood glucose, and thus is a better choice.

While honey is much better than processed sugar, it must still be eaten in moderation. For example in a one tablespoon serving, which is 21 grams, there are 17 grams of carbohydrates of which all of them are sugar. There is 0 fat and 0 cholesterol, which is good. However there is not any significant vitamin or mineral nutrients either.
