People with diabetes have to be very careful while designing their diets as it may affect their blood sugar levels.
Milk is usually considered a crucial part of our diet being high on protein, calcium, healthy fats and other vital nutrients.
However, in recent years there has been a debate on whether or not people with the metabolic disorder should consume milk on a regular basis.
Milk may have unhealthy fats that can increase risk of cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes. However, a recent research suggests that milk and dairy products, especially fermented ones, were associated with a decreased risk of developing diabetes.
Additionally, they offered protection against metabolic syndrome and obesity. This means a glass of milk every day can protect one from diabetes.
Later research revealed that milk and dairy products also help to prevent metabolic syndrome obesity, and hypertension.
