Diabetic friendly foods

Yogurt

Yogurt is creamy, delicious, and good for you. 

An excellent source of calcium, which helps promote the health of bones and teeth as well as muscle and blood vessel function.

Yogurt is also a good source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and protein.

It also provides zinc, which can be deficient in some people with diabetes and aids in immune function and wound healing.

Probiotic yogurt contains health-promoting bacteria that some research has proposed is beneficial for digestive health, including lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome. 

Yogurt's live cultures may also benefit immunity and improve cholesterol.

There are different yogurts and you can make your own from low fat milk.

You can make numerous low calorie diishes,drinks,smoothies,yogurt cheese etc.
