6. High-Fat Dairy Products
High-Fat Dairy Products, such as whole milk, cream, and ice cream should be avoided if you have diabetes. Dairy products and foods made with dairy are an important part of a healthy diet, but they can also be high in saturated fat and calories. Eating too much saturated fat can increase your risk of developing heart disease.
High-fat dairy products also have been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Instead of high-fat dairy, opt for low-fat dairy products, such as skim milk, low-fat yogurt, and low-fat cheese. If you prefer to consume vegan dairy alternatives, choose unsweetened varieties that are fortified with calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals.
