Just check your reaction - a teaspoon of honey is better for you "nutritionally" but it's still about the same 4 carbs as cane sugar, table sugar, molasses and that's what your Diabetes cares about

If you count it as "a carb" if counting your total intake of carbs, then it's no problem

I try to stay away from all forms of sugar except Steva sweetener. Try Steva sweetener. It has no sugar. Sandra340
