Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level.<\/p>\n<p>Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes. But honey actually has slightly more carbohydrates and more calories a teaspoon than does granulated sugar. So any calories and carbohydrates you save will be minimal.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer the taste of honey, go ahead and use it. But only use honey in moderation.
