HbA1c can be used to assess blood glucose control.

◐Partially SupportedConsuming 175 grams of honey per day will increase blood sugar, leading to a rise in hemoglobin A1c and average blood sugar over 90 days.

✕Not SupportedThe conventional view that sugar and honey are detrimental to diabetics is flawed because it focuses solely on blood sugar and ignores improvements in insulin sensitivity, fasting blood sugar, and lipids.

◐Partially SupportedMethylglyoxal, an Advanced Glycation End Product, increases significantly on a ketogenic diet.

◐Partially SupportedThe glycerol backbone of triglycerides may form methylglyoxal on a ketogenic diet.

◐Partially SupportedEven the control group in the study showed an increase in hemoglobin A1c from 7.1 to 7.3.
