A member asked:
Does the consumption of milk and lactose encourage diabetis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lactose a sugar, Yes: Diabetes mellitus complex & type ii typically develops over decades. One key metric is ↑ glucose, hba1c 6.5% vs. Optimal healthy 5.0%. Anything which requires Insulin release to remove ↑ sugar (less so protein) from water outside cells drives dm & conversion to fat (obesity). Very complex carbs (not ground, processed) less a problem but all carbs/sugar drives dm. Fat does not drive Insulin release.
