Honey contains natural sugars that can raise blood glucose levels, so it should be consumed with caution if you have diabetes. However, it is not inherently "bad" and can be included in your diet in small amounts.
Key points to consider:
- Monitor portion size: Small quantities of honey may be acceptable, but large amounts can cause blood sugar spikes.
- Choose natural honey: Avoid processed or flavored honey which may have added sugars.
- Balance with overall diet: Incorporate honey as part of a balanced meal plan, considering your total carbohydrate intake.
- Consult your healthcare provider: It's important to discuss with your doctor or dietitian to tailor advice based on your individual health status and diabetes control.
Remember, managing diabetes is about overall diet and lifestyle, not just one food item. Keeping track of your blood sugar levels after consuming honey can help you understand how it affects you personally.

I've had man boobs since I was 18 and now I'm 22. At first I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't, even with regular chest workouts. My nipples are puffy and an awkward shape which makes me think it's gynecomastia. I also have thyroid issues - could that be causing this? What's the best treatment option, medication or surgery?
It's possible you have gynecomastia, and your thyroid issues could be contributing. While it can be common for breast tissue to enlarge during puberty, if it persists into your early twenties, it's important to consult with a doctor. Your doctor can assess your specific situation, including your thyroid condition, and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include medication, liposuction, or surgery
