Honey, dextrose, is a monosaccharide sugar. It will elevate blood sugar levels.

It is a mixture of fructose and glucose. Those are the same sugars obtained by hydrolysing the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar) into its component monosaccharides.

I think the only sugars safe for a diabetic would be those we can't digest at all. Unfortunately, I don't remember which sugars those are.

Don't call me honey, we hardly know each other ;). Of course it will raise blood sugar, I knew that, the other poster didn't know it. Dextrose is a sweetener made from corn and I am allergic to it but I am not allergic to honey.
