Socotra honey and diabetes: what are the dangers?

Socotra honey originates from an island off the coast of Yemen, making it a rare Asian honey given the difficulty of sourcing it in France.

As a polyfloral honey, it is not particularly harmful to the health of diabetics as long as it is consumed in moderation.

It is advisable not to exceed the maximum amount of two teaspoons per day for diabetics, as a precautionary measure.

The glycemic index of Socotra honey

To know the impact of a product on diabetics, we need to observe its glycemic index. We should even look at the glycemic load if we really want to have the concrete impact.

As far as the index or glycemic load of Socotra honey is concerned, it is not officially known.

In fact, no official study or analysis has revealed this figure, and what is found on the web remains only supposition.

Without figures, what's to be done?

It is in this sense, in the absence of figures, that precautionary advice is in order.

The recommendation may differ depending on the person's overall diet, but 2 teaspoons a day won't have much effect on blood sugar levels if your diet remains balanced.

It's also possible, with meals with properly selected nutrients, to dilute ingested blood sugar.
