can diabetic patient eat curd - #43994
I am really confused about my diet lately. My doctor told me I'm diabetic, and honestly, it's a lot to take in. I've been trying to make healthier choices, but I keep wondering, can diabetic patient eat curd? I love curd, actually, it’s been one of my go-to snacks for years, but now I keep questioning everything I eat. I read somewhere that curd could be good because it has probiotics or something, but is there a catch?? I've noticed that when I have curd with fruit or nuts, sometimes my blood sugar feels a little off, but I can't tell if it's just my paranoia about everything now. My friend also said that dairy can be tricky for us diabetics?? Like, does the fat content matter?? Ugh, I'm just so lost. Also, if curd is okay, what kind should I be choosing? Full-fat, low-fat, or those flavored ones?? 🤔 I want to get this right but with all the contradicting advice out there, it’s super hard. Can anyone help me understand more about curd and its effects on blood sugar? Can diabetic patient eat curd without messing up my numbers?? Thanks in advance!

Curd can definitely be part of a diabetic diet, but there are some considerations you should keep in mind to make the most of it. In Ayurveda, we understand that curd, being a fermented dairy product, is beneficial due to its probiotic content which supports the gut flora and aids digestion. However, whole milk curd can have high saturated fat, so it might be wise to opt for low-fat or skimmed versions to manage cardiovascular health - a concern often paired with diabetes.
You mentioned having curd with fruits or nuts; this combination can affect your blood sugars if not balanced properly. Fruits, especially sweet ones, can contain high levels of natural sugars which may cause fluctuations in your glucose levels. Consider having curd with lower glycemic index fruits like berries, or opt for a sprinkle of seeds like chia or flax instead of sugary fruits. As for nuts, moderate amounts of almonds or walnuts can be a good choice as they provide healthy fats and protein, helping to stabilize blood sugar.
The probiotics in curd promote healthier digestion and can moderately regulate blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity. Yet, not all curds are created equal. Flavored, sweetened yogurt can have added sugars, which would spike blood sugar levels, so it’s preferable to stick with plain versions. And remember, always consume curd in moderation.
Timing is also an important factor; consuming curd during the day works in sync with your body’s metabolic functions. Avoid curd at night to prevent imbalances to the Kapha dosha which can occur due to curd’s cold and heavy properties. Keep track of your blood sugar levels as you incorporate curd into your diet and consult your healthcare professional to tailor anything particular to your needs, ensuring it complements well with any other medical treatments you may be having.
