    Compared with milk, yogurt has a higher sugar content, so it is regarded as a "forbidden product" by many diabetic patients. In fact, although sugar is added to the yogurt, the rate of raising blood sugar is not fast. Because the lactic acid in yogurt can delay the emptying of the stomach, it helps to control the blood sugar after a meal. In addition, yogurt is rich in calcium, and calcium helps the normal release of insulin, which helps balance blood sugar. Therefore, diabetics can drink 1 cup of yogurt (about 125 grams) per day. If they are really worried about blood sugar, they can drink low-sugar yogurt.
