I am 58 years old and keeping physically fit except diabetic. I do play 4-5 games of badminton every day and do a little bit of walking in the morning too. I am not able to keep my body weight under control. Do honey consumption has any negative effect on my blood sugar. Whether honey has any role in weight control?

Hello, Thanks for the query. With a BMI of 34.94 kgs you are almost in grade 2 obesity. This itself is the invitation for diabetes. Your ideal body weight has to be about 65 kgs. Honey is sucrose (sugar), except that it may have some vitamins and antioxidants. But it is not good for diabetic patient. There is need to give a serious look at your diet and total exercise. Thanks.
