As I said above, after I quit drinking milk my blood sugar levels dropped by a third. An update is that I have also lost about 18 pounds. I don’t doubt Alex is right.

You are way out of line by just blindly telling everybody that they should drink milk. I've heard these claims, that the sugar in milk is converted to glucose slowly, and recently I've decided to test it out for myself. I bought a blood glucose meter called accu-check compact plus. On several different occasions I have tested my blood sugar on an empty stomach then tested my blood sugar after drinking 16 ounces of milk. I have consistently gotten approximately 80 before and approximately 150 about 20 minutes after drinking the milk. The lactose in milk is fully capable of making blood sugar rise rapidly. I have gotten the same results with whole raw milk, or whole pasteurized/homogenized milk. Please respond to this. Hi.

I am concerned about his milk intake he LOVES to drink milk a gallon lasts maybe 2 days. He has always drank milk this way. Should he cut milk completely out or how many cups a day can he have. Also which milk is better for him to drink? my husband just found out he is type 2 diabetic… I am concerned about his milk intake he LOVES to drink milk a gallon lasts maybe 2 days.

My father got mature onset diabetes at 65, and my blood sugar has been creeping up for the last two or three years. I cut out almost all sugar from my diet, but it kept going up into the 160's. About three months ago I cut out milk totally and substituted almond milk, which has no sugar. I the first test since, my reading went down into the low 120's, and my AC1 went down to 5.8 from 6.1. In addition, I have lost 10 pounds without any change in exercise level. This is anecdotal, but there's no question in my mind that milk, at least in the quantity I was drinking, definitely affects blood sugar levels. In addition, my legs had started aching at night and were very stiff when I first got up. Within a week of quitting milk, they went back to normal. Two doctor friends have told me since that, for people over 21, milk can be an inflammatory. It may be coincidence, but that's the way it happened.
