Answer:
If you're thinking sugar causes diabetes, rest easy... it doesn't. If you're diabetic, you should consider a sugar free alternative or learn to do without sweets as many of us have. If you're not diabetic, honey is a nice alternative to sugar.
honey is the best
Honey is better than sugar...
Honey is the best because it is a natural sugar and plus it has other good stuff in it that regular sugar don't.
Honey is sugar. Splenda is a dangerous chemical.
The best thing is to buy some stevia, it's all natural and 300 times the sweetness of sugar,
a bit of honey is better for you
I use fresh fruit, I like oranges and lemons. But you can also add honey
Cutting out refined sugars from your diet is a great way to go to improve your overall health. Splenda is good, but is still made with some small amounts of refined sugar. Honey has natural sugars like your basic fruits. Its a great healthy alternative.
honey would be the best or try and cut down on the sugar little by little and try to cut out salt by not using it for cooking in time you will get used to it all the best
If you are diabetic then it would not be good to use honey, its pure sugar and could send your blood glucose level soaring!
Use an artificial sweetener.
I assume that since this question is under " Diabetes " you must have diabetes ?

Honey is liquid sugar and will raise your sugar faster than cane sugar.
BTW- sugar is a natural ingredient.

Try some artificial sweeteners.Find one you like.

Enjoy your tea.
I normally prefer to drink my coffee/tea without any sweetener, but if you want an alternative to sugar, I would suggest Splenda.
You can use honey.

Where do people think sugar comes from? It grows on cane in fields, out of the ground.

Honey is a fast way to really raise your blood sugar. Sometimes the impurities in this "natural" product can make you sick, too. And it's very dangerous for small children.

I'm not saying avoid honey, I'm just annoyed that people think it's any better than any other sugar.
I simply put lemon juice in it
Hey

Just stop using the sugar- I did yrs ago (Cold Turkey) tea tastes better...Try some herbal tea no sugar no milk very healthy helps detox.
