Diabetics who consumed 175 grams of honey per day for eight weeks lost approximately two kilograms.

“their blood sugar goes up of course but how do you really get metabolically healthy as a diabetic you avoid seed oils which i think are the main thing that breaks your adipocytes your fat cells causes them to release tons of non-esterified fatty acids which is the basis of metabolic dysfunction”

“you can give diabetics honey and they get more metabolically healthy their blood sugar goes up of course”

“body weight total cholesterol low density lipoprotein and triglycerides decreased and high density lipid lip protein cholesterol increased significantly in the honey group isn't that amazing”

“after adjustment for baseline values there were no significant differences in the fasting blood sugars between the two groups body weight total cholesterol ldl and triglyceride decreased and high density lipoprotein increased significantly in the honey group”

“what these researchers found was that insulin sensitivity improved and lipids improved in the honey group now blood sugars went up I'll show you this in a moment hemoglobin A1c went up but fasting blood glucose the best metric of insulin sensitivity went down in these diabetics this was the only intervention they did”

“outlined how much honey they got before that only increase the average blood sugar 11 milligrams per deciliter and the fasting blood sugar went down they lost weight they got more insulin sensitive and their lipids got better as well so all the metrics got better and the hemoglobin A1c went up because their blood sugar went up”

“so you can see here in the honey group also lost weight they started at 71.3 kilograms plus or minus 12.7 and they ended the trial at 69.5 kilograms that's basically two kilograms in eight weeks so about four pounds or more than four and a half pounds over eight weeks and all they did was give them more honey they lost weight the control group did not lose any weight the exact same weight at the beginning so the honey group lost weight that was statistically significant”

“the honey group reduced the fasting blood sugar from 153 milligrams per deciliter to 124 the standard deviations here are 43.9 and 37.5 respectively but the honey group lowered their fasting blood sugar that is the most important metric that this study did”

“The triglycerides went from 190 to 148 in the honey group The HDL went from 59 to 66 the LDL went from 125 to 107”

“what these researchers found was that insulin sensitivity improved and lipids improved in the honey group Now blood sugars went up I'll show you this in a moment hemoglobin A1c went up but fasting blood glucose the best metric of insulin sensitivity went down in these diabetics”

“giving people 175 grams of honey for the last two weeks and then I outlined how much honey they got before that only increase the average blood sugar 11 milligrams per deciliter and the fasting blood sugar went down they lost weight they got more insulin sensitive and their lipids got better as well so all the metrics got better and the hemoglobin A1c went up because their blood sugar went up”

“high level eight week consumption of honey can provide beneficial effects on body weight and blood lipids of diabetic patients”

“eight week consumption of honey can provide beneficial effects on body weight and blood lipids of diabetic patients”

“look at how much their fasting blood sugar dropped 153 to 124”

“what these researchers found was that insulin sensitivity improved and lipids improved in the honey group Now blood sugars went up I'll show you this in a moment hemoglobin A1c went up but fasting blood glucose the best metric of insulin sensitivity went down in these diabetics”

“the triglycerides went from 190 to 148 in the honey group The HDL went from 59 to 66 the LDL went from 125 to 107”

“so you can see here in the honey group also lost weight they started at 71.3 kilograms plus or minus 12.7 and they ended the trial at 69.5 kilograms that's basically two kilograms in eight weeks so about four pounds or more than four and a half pounds over eight weeks and all I did was give them more honey they lost weight the control group did not lose any weight the exact same weight at the beginning so the honey group lost weight that was statistically significant”

“so giving people 175 grams of honey for the last two weeks and then I outlined how much honey they got before that only increase the average blood sugar 11 milligrams per deciliter and the fasting blood sugar went down they lost weight they got more insulin sensitive and their lipids got better as well”

“Honey's really interesting there's actually a study in diabetics diabetics people with metabolic syndrome metabolic dysfunction they gave them ascending amounts of Honey over eight weeks and at the end of the eight weeks the last two weeks of those eight weeks they gave them around 150 grams of honey per day 150 grams of honey that's 10 tablespoons of honey per day and these are diabetics they're fasting glucose goes down so honey it's it's this complex food from bees that has looked like many many beneficial properties in humans potentially improving insulin sensitivity in humans even though it's a sugar it improves insulin sensitivity and then there's potential cardiovascular benefits there's little prebiotics in there that probably are beneficial for the gut”

“honey is something that people think is going to worsen their diabetes though it may raise your blood sugar slightly even if you're diabetic there are actual randomized control trials with humans and honey up to 125 grams plus of honey per day in diabetics showing that over an 8we period administering honey actually improves glucose tolerance blood sugar goes up a little bit but it improves glucose tolerance”
