Diabetes and Yoghurt: What to eat and what not to
Yoghurt can be a great nutrient-dense breakfast option or an easy snack. If unsweetened and Greek-style, it’s low in carbohydrates and high in protein. This means it won’t cause blood sugar spikes in people with diabetes, like other sources of carbohydrates. Yoghurt that contains a total carbohydrate content of 15 g or less per serving are ideal for people with diabetes.
Most dairy products have a low Glycemic Index, this makes them ideal for people with diabetes. To get the most out of your yoghurt, check the labels before you purchase.
Many yoghurt have added sugars. Choose options that contain 10 grams (g) of sugar or less. Check labels clearly, since sugar content among brands — and even among flavors within the same brand — can vary drastically. You can always add your own fresh fruit, however if you add honey or syrup, you need to count that as added sugar.
