Can diabetics drink yogurt?

Patient's question:

This is the first year I came home after completing my training. I wanted to buy something nice to drink for my grandfather to show my appreciation as his granddaughter. I noticed that there are many high-end brands of yogurt in the market that are very nutritious, and I thought my grandfather could try a little. However, since he has diabetes, I’m hesitant to buy it for him without consulting a doctor. I asked a doctor, can diabetics drink yogurt?

Doctor's answer:

Diabetic patients generally cannot consume yogurt, and in most cases, it is necessary to pay attention to the sugar content of yogurt. If the sugar content is high, consuming yogurt can easily affect the level of fasting blood sugar, potentially worsening the condition. It is recommended not to drink yogurt and to be mindful of avoiding high-sugar foods in daily dietary habits. It is better to maintain a light diet. The above information can be used as a reference.
