Thanks for the query. Diabetes has a familial origin. It can be passed on from parents to children. But fortunately it is also a preventable condition particularly T2 DM. Maintaining normal weight, doing regular exercise, taking a properly balanced diet, avoiding too much of sweets, junk food, pastries, bakery items and foods made from maida is beneficial. Taking lemon and honey is unlikely to lead to diabetes. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user. In ayurveda madhudaka like one concept is there. Our achara explained take 1 part on water boil up to water reduce up to half of the quantity, allow to cool then mix honey in that then drink. This mixture will call madhudaka. This will even clot in the brain. Good for obesity, diabetics etc. Scientifically spiking after boiling water alone hardness of the water will reduce. Honey acts as a catalyst for all the medicine and food. So, kapha vilayana will takes place so this madhudaka helps for treat diabetics. It will not cause diabetics. But if heat honey or if you add honey in hot water that will convert into toxins. In ayurveda says virudda ahara means virudda ahara will cause toxines,
