The source of honey heavily influences its antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. In the present study, on comparing the IC50 values (for antidiabetic and antioxidant activity) of three honeys i.e. honey from Citrus sinensis, Punica granatum and Helianthus, honey from Citrus sinensis showed lowest IC50 value, while the honey from Helianthus showed the highest IC50 value for both activities. Hence, it can be concluded that though all the honeys showed significant antidiabetic and antioxidant activity, honey from Citrus sinensis demonstrated significantly higher antidiabetic as well as antioxidant activity simultaneously amongst all the different types of honeys. Further, it can be concluded that honey from Citrus sinensis would be more potent and a healthier natural diet supplement, in not only managing diabetes and but also in reducing the oxidative stress caused by it, simultaneously and effectively.
