Wasn't sure which forum to post, couldn't find a diabetes forum.
I'm hosting guests for Shabbos, and one of them has diabetes (type 2). I want to make cookies for everyone to enjoy, including the diabetic.
Will using honey instead of sugar help? Or does it have the same effect?
(Recipe uses 8 Tbsp honey per 24 cookies, so that's 1 tsp honey per cookie)
ETA: it's oatmeal cookies, if that makes a difference
Thank you

(Just realize than many diabetics won't eat the cookies at all since the cookies contain carbs which break down into sugars ).

Agave can vary from 90/10 fructose to 55/45 fructose/glucose.
Fructose will still raise BGL.
Honestly, as the wife of a T2 diabetic--the easiest thing is just to not make crazy sweet desserts, have fresh fruit, and let the person adjust their menu accordingly. Everyone is different in what they can tolerate.

So nice of you to ask.
There's a lot of misinformation about healthy eating in some of our magazines and kosher blogs. They use honey or other sweeteners in recipes and think they're "healthy". Some of them will sub brown sugar for white sugar. I think this comes from the fact that whole wheat flour is healthier than white flour, but brown sugar has no nutritional advantage.
Could you ask your guest what she can eat and what foods she has to avoid? That would probably be best. Meanwhile make sure there's no honey or maple syrup hiding in your salad dressing or your roast or some other part of your menu.
