For Sweet taste accent; You can substitute Monk Fruit powder instead honey. Because honey has a sugar content, it is not typically good for diabetic patients. Honey is between one and one-and-a-half times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar from sugarcane). Honey is approximately 40% fructose, 30% glucose and 17% water, with the remainder being other sugars, carbohydrates and a small amount of vitamins and minerals. 

Sugar table is typically made from sugarcane. Sugarcane contains glucose and sucrose. The sucrose accounts for a large portion of the sugar in sugarcane, while glucose is present in smaller amounts. The sugar from sugarcane (about 10–15% of it's volume) is sucrose which is 50% glucose and 50% fructose.

Both sucrose and fructose can negatively affect individuals with diabetes. Sucrose, which is common table sugar, is made up of glucose and fructose. When consumed, it is broken down into its component parts, which can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar levels in someone with diabetes. Fructose, a type of sugar found in many fruits and sweetened beverages, is metabolized differently in the body than glucose and can also contribute to high blood sugar levels and obesity. It is important for individuals with diabetes to limit their intake of both sucrose and fructose.

👍Monk fruit is also known as Swingle fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii) or Racanto(ラカント) in Nihongo. It's from the same food family as gourds like pumpkin and melon. It's been used for medicinal purposes in eastern countries to treat intestinal problems and the common cold. Monk Fruit powder use as a sweetener is fairly new.


There are sweet powders that substitute for table sugar and honey. These several sweet powders are good for the diet and pre-diabetic patients, such as:

👍1. Stevia: a natural sweetener that is extracted from the leaves of the stevia plant. It has no calories and does not affect blood sugar levels.

👍2. Erythritol: a sugar alcohol that is low in calories and does not raise blood sugar levels.

👍3. Xylitol: another sugar alcohol that has a low glycemic index and does not raise blood sugar levels.

👍4. Sucralose: an artificial sweetener that does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels.

👍5. Monk fruit powder: a natural sweetener that contains zero calories and does not raise blood sugar levels.

It is important for the patients to consult first with their healthcare provider or doctor before using any sweetener, as some may still impact blood sugar levels in certain individuals.
