Dr. Yang Ziqi
Diabetic patients can consume low-fat, high-calcium yogurt.
1. Low-fat, high-calcium yogurt contains lower levels of fat, which helps diabetic patients control total fat intake and aligns with the requirements of diabetes dietary management.
2. The calcium in yogurt is also an important nutrient for diabetic patients, contributing to the maintenance of bone health.
3. The probiotics in yogurt have a positive effect on improving gut health and promoting digestion, which is equally important for diabetic patients.
4. Diabetic patients should also pay attention to moderate consumption of low-fat, high-calcium yogurt to avoid excessive calorie intake or gastrointestinal discomfort caused by overconsumption. In addition, they should choose yogurt products that are sugar-free or low in sugar to further control blood glucose levels.
