چکیده
Honey, besides being a nutrient has been a subject of renewed research interest in the last few years for its multiple medicinal values. Evidence indicates that honey can exert several health-beneficial effects such as gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, reproductive, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory effects.

This review presents a synopsis of experimental studies performed in the recent years, which support honey as a novel antioxidant and anti-diabetic agent that might be of potential significance for the management of diabetes and its complications.
