One thing I noticed in the paper is a lack of breakdown of results based on diabetic diagnosis. With almost half of participants being "healthy" and only 21% being "diabetic" (specifically not isolating Type 1 from Type 2 and not specifying other diabetic conditions), the results of whether this information is useful to a diabetic gets skewed.
This is a harmful way to present this information because people will read into this that honey will help a diabetic. In fact, there's a comment to the linked article asking where a diabetic might find more information.
To be clear: Type 1 and 3 diabetics will need to dose the same amount of insulin for the carbs as they would any other sugar. Type 2 diabetics and PCOS will see a similar spike based on the glycemic index and the amount consumed. LADA and MODY will need to do whatever they normally do. If you're having glucose control issues already, this is not going to be a remedy and should not be sought as one. If you do have good glucose control, this MIGHT be something to watch for more research. Otherwise, this should have no bearing on your diabetic treatment.
