        Hopefully your diabetic customers do not asume that since you do not add
sugar to your product, they are safe to eat it.  Honey is in fact a type of
sugar.  I would want a reliable physician to determine how much, if any,
could be safely consumed by any diabetic!
 
        Just my .02 c worth !!
