This honey LOWERS my blood sugar!
This honey amazes me! I have had high blood sugar readings the past three years and have been dealing with them through diet, rather than taking prescriptions/insulin shots. I thought I had to live with the low 100's for fasting, but to my amazement, when taking a teaspoon or two (or even a bit more) of this honey, my blood sugar DROPS to below 100--consistently, any time of day or night. And, it's not as if I am having a sugar spike and then a plunge. I've monitored it at the 15 minute range, half-hour, hour, and two hour. It's almost eerie, because it runs against what we've always been taught--sugar in any form will increase your blood sugar values. Sadly, I believed that, and have missed out for years on a wonderful product that could have been helping me all along.
I have been used to having my bs reading around 160 after certain meals--all the way up to and over 200 at times, depending upon the level of starch or carbohydrate I had eaten. Since taking this honey, I haven't seen a reading over 150. Of course, I only use it directly out of the jar. I wonder if heating it would alter the benefits. Luckily, it tastes delightful just as it is...rich, smooth, and yet not sickeningly sweet. Very satisfying.
Perhaps it's just my system it has this effect on, but I will be trying it out on other family members immediately. It's still hard for me to believe it myself, though. I keep thinking it's a fluke and keep testing the theory, but it appears legitimate. WOW! THANKS YS for making such a wonderful product--already have an order in for the next jar. I keep hearing that old Mary Poppin's tune..."Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down"...who knew the sugar WAS the medicine?
So, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is struggling to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It's easy enough to see if it works for you or not. If it does, I would love to hear about it! Or even if it doesn't. It's all interesting...
