kcdavidson42 10 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm 5 days post op and wondering if anyone uses honeybee agave nectar in their tea or coffee? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted February 27, 2015 Except for special holidays, simple sugars (other than lactose naturally occurring in yogurt) are not in my diet, no matter what form they come in. For me, they mean unstable blood sugar and weight gain. I really wish I was one of the people who found that sweets were too sweet after surgery, but I still like them. I'm currently using Splenda or stevia in my coffee, depending on what's available. Perhaps some day I'll be strong enough to eliminate artificial sweeteners, but for now, they are a pleasure I don't want to give up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Peter 39 Posted February 27, 2015 I think Honey is a complex sugar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted February 27, 2015 Honey has a glycemic index of 58. Lower than table sugar, but not low. I love it, but I avoid it. I guess I'm so wary because I have been managing my diabetes successfully for 15 years this way. Now that I have been sleeved. It's possible that I don't have to be so careful, but I'm afraid to test it. I love being diabetes-free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
