Low fat milk

The "best" milk for a diabetic person will depend on the flavors they enjoy, the rest of their diet, and how much total daily carbohydrate they consume. Almond and flax milk, for instance, has almost no carbohydrates if someone wants to cut their intake of carbohydrates as much as possible.

But keep in mind that this traditional beverage also contains carbs, which can have an impact on your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes. Limit your intake of milk to no more than two to three 8-ounce glasses each day. However, for those who prefer cow's milk but are not lactose intolerant, skim milk can be a lower-fat, lower-calorie option. Research has suggested a strong connection between consuming low-fat dairy and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.
