Beta, plain dahi (yogurt) can be good for health, yes. For diabetics, it's important to have it without sugar. Homemade is best, then you know what is in it. It helps keep the digestion strong. But always ask your doctor for specific advice about your diet.

I totally get that you're trying to make the best dietary choices for diabetes. Plain yogurt can be a good option because of its probiotics and protein. It helps in gut health and can prevent blood sugar spikes. Just remember to always check the sugar content and consult a dietitian or your doctor.

I've tried so many home remedies for various health issues, and I've learned that for serious things like diabetes, general advice isn't enough. Plain, unsweetened yogurt is generally considered fine, but the type (full fat, low fat) and quantity matter a lot. It's best to get a personalized diet plan from a medical professional. They know best.

My father is diabetic, and we were told by his doctor that plain yogurt is okay for him. We always make sure it's fresh and without any added sugar. He has a small bowl almost daily. But this is just what worked for us, everyone's situation is unique.

Hey! So for diabetics, plain yogurt (like dahi) is usually a good option. It has good bacteria for your tummy and protein, which helps keep blood sugar steady. Just make sure it's completely unsweetened, no fruit pieces or anything added. My nani has diabetes and her doc recommended it too.

Yo, so for diabetics, like my uncle, the plain dahi is generally cool. Like, it's healthy, right? But the super sweet ones, with fruits and all that, no way, too much sugar. So yeah, plain one is a go, but always check with the doc, just to be safe. Don't want any issues.

From a fitness perspective, plain Greek yogurt is excellent for anyone, including diabetics, because of its high protein content. It helps with satiety and muscle maintenance. Just be super careful to pick unsweetened versions and watch portion sizes. Exercise also plays a big role in managing diabetes.
