Is butter milk good for diabetes?

My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He loves drinking buttermilk, especially in summer. Is butter milk good for diabetes, or should he limit his intake?

Haan bilkul, chaas (buttermilk) diabetes ke liye bahut achhi hai, par ghar ki bani honi chahiye. Market wale pack me namak aur preservative hote hain jo BP badhate hain. Bina cheeni aur thoda jeera powder dal ke piyo, badiya rahega.

In our household, we always serve fresh buttermilk after lunch. It digestion keeps good and is very cooling for the body. For diabetic patient, put a little roasted cumin (jeera) and fresh mint leaves, but do not add sugar or heavy salt. It is very safe.

Yes, unsalted, homemade buttermilk is excellent for diabetes as it has a low glycemic index and keeps you hydrated.

I totally get it, finding satisfying drinks when you have diabetes is such a struggle. Plain buttermilk is actually a lifesaver because it doesn't spike sugar at all and fills you up nicely. Just make sure you don't add any boondi or heavy salt to it.

I used to drink high-sugar juices thinking they were healthy, which made my diabetes worse before I realized. Switching to fresh buttermilk helped me a lot, but please get your blood sugar checked regularly to see how your body responds to different foods.

I have been diabetic for the last fifteen years, and unsalted chaas has been my daily companion. It has never spiked my sugar and actually keeps my stomach cool in summers. Enjoy it daily without any worry, just avoid the store-bought ones.
