Does eating honey cause diabetes?

Patient's question:

My blood sugar is a bit high, but it hasn't been said to have reached the level of diabetes. I still dislike eating honey quite a bit, and now I'm not even very brave to eat honey anymore because I'm upset about the possibility of getting diabetes. That would be very troublesome. Does eating honey cause diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

If you want to express that your blood sugar is lower than the normal level, but it hasn't reached the standard of 7.0 for fasting blood sugar, then even if you have impaired fasting glucose, it indicates that you need to manage your own blood sugar. If you don't manage it, there is a possibility that it could progress to diabetes. Therefore, foods that are too sweet, such as honey, should no longer be consumed. Additionally, a low-sugar, low-fat diet is required, along with active exercise. After 3 months, follow up with a blood sugar recheck.
