Many people have the habit of drinking warm lemon water with honey because it can bring many health benefits.

First, let's analyze each ingredient of a glass of warm lemon water with honey for diabetics:

Is lemon good for diabetics?

The American Diabetes Association calls citrus fruits like lemons "diabetes superfoods."

Lemon juice can help control blood sugar levels over time. It helps prevent blood sugar spikes, according to medical site WebMD .

Lemon helps reduce the harmful effects of diabetes because it has two advantages: soluble fiber and vitamin C.

It is better for diabetics to drink warm lemon water without adding honey.

Soluble fiber slows down digestion and thus helps control blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Vitamin C can help lower fasting blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and reduce the risk of complications from diabetes such as heart and kidney disease.

Is honey really good for diabetics?

As for honey, Dr. Priyamvada said that people often think that using honey instead of sugar can be good for diabetics. But in fact, honey has a GI of 58 and sugar is 60, not much difference.

For people with diabetes, it is important to maintain carbohydrate and fiber intake to keep blood sugar levels from rising too high. That is why, although honey is rich in antioxidants, which can help people with diabetes, diabetics should limit their honey intake. Consuming too much honey can increase blood sugar levels, especially in diabetics.

In short, until there's a definitive conclusion about honey, it's best to limit it to small amounts, as just half a teaspoon of honey contains 8.7 grams of carbs.

It is better for diabetics to drink warm lemon water without adding honey. If you want to add honey, do not add more than half a teaspoon and consult your doctor before drinking.
