I cannot stop drinking milk. i love it i drink almost a gallon a day ever since i was a kid no previous medical history except i am prediabetic?

Lactose is Sugar: Lactose, the simple sugar in milk is probably the main reason behind the craving. One gallon of milk has nearly 1000 calories of lactose. This is simple sugar. That is a lot of sugar calories to be consuming if you are pre-diabetic.

High milk consumptio: You are drinking too much milk. The calories alone of a gallon of milk is about 1100 calories. Are you overweight? If you are prediabetic you should watch your sugar intake (milk has lactose sugar), and control calories to keep your weight in good control.

Too many calories!: if you are prediabetic, definitely cut back on milk, it is simply way too many calories! Often big mild drinkers will also have an associated anemia, due to lack of dietary iron. Take a look at your overall diet, shoot for 8 glasses of water, 8 fruits and veggies a day, and 10k steps a day. think of these three thinks as your medicine. Two big glasses of milk ok.
