CAN DIABETES DRINK MILK is a question often asked by those diagnosed with diabetes. While the answer may seem obvious to some, others may not be so sure. There are many factors to consider when it comes to this topic, and we’re here to help you understand all of them.
There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood and is caused by the body’s inability to produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes is more common and is caused by the body’s resistance to insulin. If you have either type of diabetes, it’s important to monitor your blood sugar levels carefully.
Foods high in sugar can cause blood sugar levels to spike, so it’s important to be aware of what you’re eating. Milk contains lactose, which is a type of sugar. For people with diabetes, it’s important to know how much lactose is in a food before eating it. Some people with diabetes can tolerate small amounts of lactose without affecting their blood sugar levels, while others need to avoid it altogether.
If you’re unsure whether or not you can drink milk if you have diabetes, talk to your doctor or Registered Dietitian about what’s best for you
