This Sweet Treat LOWERS Blood Sugar Levels

Great option for type 2 diabetics  

If you’re watching your blood sugar levels, you might think you need to have your sweet tooth pulled. 

After all, too much sugar in your blood is a recipe for a health disaster, damaged blood vessels, and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems. 

The list goes on, and I hope it’s dire enough to take action. 

But that action doesn’t have to involve giving up sweets for the rest of your life. 

There’s a healthy, natural sugar alternative that has been shown to help lower your blood sugar. 

That’s right, when it comes to honey, you can have your honey and eat it too. 

Believe it or not, this sweet treat has been shown to help lower or manage blood sugar levels. 

In one review of studies, when type 2 diabetics consumed honey, they experienced decreased fasting blood sugar levels and increased levels of fasting C-peptide (something that regulates insulin and helps keep blood sugar under control). 

Another review of studies showed that honey could be useful for lowering blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. 

It also improves insulin sensitivity. 

Honey is made up of fructose, which is a type of sugar that enters your bloodstream more slowly. And because it has a low glycemic index, it also helps prevent weight gain and fat storage.  

This doesn’t mean you should eat it by the spoonful. 

But if you’re looking for a little added sweetness in your life—without facing the negative blood sugar impact—reach for some honey instead of sugar. 

That’s a good idea for everyone, whether you have type 2 diabetes or not.
