The Worst Foods For Diabetics (Even Ones That Seem Healthy)
Drop Low-Fat Milk; Go High-Fat
Health experts have debated over the best type of milk for decades. Although diabetes researchers once recommended a low-fat diet, this is no longer the case. Low-fat milks supply less fat but replace it with sugar. Registered dietitian Nicole Anziani says that this can spike your blood sugar.

Plus, high-fat milks may reduce peoples’ chances of diabetes. In 2021, Swedish researchers connected high-fat dairy to a lower risk of diabetes. They can also help people with pre-diabetes. Other studies have called high-fat milk “neutral” in the development of diabetes, but low-fat milks aren’t as healthy.
