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.

You are right, it's mixture of fructose and glucose---thanks.

“only sugars safe for a diabetic would be those we can’t digest at all.” Does sorbitol ring a bell? I dunno.
