Honey is sugar. Diabetics cannot use it as a sugar "substitute. Agave syrup is also sugar and must be used in moderation. All sugars must be broken down into glucose to be used in the cell, whether it is fructose, maltose, sucrose or starch.

If it is pure honey it is fine for diabetics...natural sugar like fruit.

What about using agave syrup? You can find it almost everywhere nowdays. Target even carries it. It does not spike your insulin like sugar does. I am starting to use it more. I even brush it on thin sliced apples to make my apple chips in the oven.

Patricia W. You can buy an artificial sugar free honey. I'm diabetic and use it all the time.

I was looking for a fruit bread that uses honey and this is it, thanx!

What if your pantry is out of sugar and you do not want to make a trip out to the grocery store but rather stay home and bake with what you have on hand? Then this is the recipe for you.

It's sugar free but calls for a cup of honey! I was looking for a recipe for diabetics!
