DIABETIC CARE-HOW TO TAKE FOODS WITH HIGH GI- [3.DAIRY PRODUCTS]

DELICIOUS DIABETIC FORMULAS-[MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS]

A diabetic can deliciously taste and enjoy milk and milk products every day without a miss but in limited quantities. The limits can be calculated very easily by using the glycemic load formulas.
Beware of milk products as they have no dietary fibers in their recipe. Still, you can taste them by using the Glycemic Load formulas.

FULL-FAT MILK (250ml):-

Total carbs                                    =11.65gm

Fibers                                            =0gm

Active carbs(n)    11.65-0              =11.65gm

Glycemic Index                             =41

Glycemic Load [nxGI]/100 

             =[11.65x41]/100  =4.8 (<10)✔️

Hence a diabetic can drink full-fat milk up to 300ml day safely as there are no fiber contents.

ICE CREAM REGULAR (50ml):-

Total carbs  (without added sugar)   =15gm

Fibers                                               =0gm

Active carbs (n)  15-0                       =15gm

GI                                                     =57

GL=[nxGI]/100=[15x57]/100             =8.55✔️

Hence a diabetic can take the cream (Regular) without any added sugar daily.

SKIMMED MILK (250ml):-

Total carbs                                 =12.25gm

Fibers                                         =0gm

Active carbs 12.25-0  (n)             =12.25gm

GI                                               =32

GL [nxGI]/100=[12.25x32]/100  =3.92(<10)✔️

Hence a diabetic patient can safely take 250-300 skimmed milk daily.

ICE CREAM PREMIUM (50ml):-

Total carbs                                 =11gm

Fibers                                         =0gm

Available carbs (n) 20-0             =11gm

GI                                               =38

GL [nxGI]/100=[11x38]/100        ≃4.2✓

Hence a diabetic can take premium ice cream

50-75ml daily.

FRUITY YOGURT WITH LESS FAT(200ml)

Total carbs                                      =18gm

Fibers                                             =0gm

Aailable carbs (n)   18-0                 =18gm

GI                                                    =33

GL [nxGI]/100    [18x33]/100          ≈6✔️

Hence a diabetic can safely consume up to 200ml of fruity yogurt with reduced-fat daily.
