Consuming up to 125g of honey daily in diabetics resulted in a small increase in A1C, a decrease in fasting glucose, and improved insulin sensitivity.

“the first two weeks they got one gram per kilogram per day of Honey the second two weeks 1.5 grams per kilogram per day the third two weeks two grams per kilogram per day in the last two weeks 2.5 kilograms per day 2.5 grams per kilogram per day so I'm about 70 kilograms 75 kilograms about 165 170 pounds so at the end of this study somebody who's like me five nine moderately muscular probably would have different body composition as a diabetic but 170 pound person would be getting around 170 plus grams of honey per day at the end of the study that's a lot of Honey 170 grams of honey that's 10 11 tablespoons of honey per day these diabetics we're getting at the end of the study in the last two weeks at the beginning of the study a 70 kilogram diabetic is going to get 70 grams of honey and they're going to get 105 grams of honey then they're going to get 140 grams of honey per day and then at the end they're going to get 175 grams of honey per day 70 kilogram human so a lot of Honey being given to these people over eight weeks”

“Patients were given up to 125 to 150 grams of honey per day at the end of the trial, and they ended up with lower fasting glucose at the end of the trial.”

“and then there's actually a really interesting trial in diabetics that I've cited a lot where they gave people honey up to I think 125 gram a day and over that time so what happened their blood sugar goes up a little bit I think A1C went up um a small amount I think the average blood sugar difference between the honey and non-honey groups was about maybe 10 milligrams per deciliter so the A1C went up but the um the fasting glucose went down W and I think they did a clamp I think they might have looked at insulin sensitivity the insulin sensitivity improved over over time”
