Except for special holidays, simple sugars (other than lactose naturally occurring in yogurt) are not in my diet, no matter what form they come in. For me, they mean unstable blood sugar and weight gain.

I really wish I was one of the people who found that sweets were too sweet after surgery, but I still like them. I'm currently using Splenda or stevia in my coffee, depending on what's available. Perhaps some day I'll be strong enough to eliminate artificial sweeteners, but for now, they are a pleasure I don't want to give up.

I think Honey is a complex sugar

Honey has a glycemic index of 58. Lower than table sugar, but not low. I love it, but I avoid it. I guess I'm so wary because I have been managing my diabetes successfully for 15 years this way. Now that I have been sleeved. It's possible that I don't have to be so careful, but I'm afraid to test it. I love being diabetes-free.
