Enjoy The Smell, But Don’t Eat Cinnamon Rolls
Let’s face it: the aroma of cinnamon rolls wafting through the home in the morning is nothing short of wonderful. It’s fine for everyone in the family to enjoy the smell and the moment, but diabetics should choose a healthier option than a frosted cinnamon bun. “Cinnamon rolls […] can contain more saturated fat and added sugars than people with diabetes should have in an entire day,” explains Jackie Newgent, RDN, CDN.

Honey Is No Better Than Sugar
Because honey has a little lower glycemic index than sugar, some people believe it is safe for diabetics. However, honey is not unlike other added sweeteners. Honey elevates people’s blood sugar 30 minutes after eating, according to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food. According to Dr. M. Regina Castro of the Mayo Clinic, there is no benefit to replacing honey for sugar. You might get a few more nutrients than from table sugar, but that’s about all. Honey, like any added sugar, should be consumed in moderation.
