I was recently surprised to find several comments in another thread mentioning how difficult it was to deal with yogurt.

We have the opposite experience. We incorporated yogurt in our hardest meal of the day, breakfast. We use 4 oz of full fat Greek yogurt (4 carbs) as desert (for breakfast) along with a little sweetener and 1/2 oz of blueberries. We find the low GI of yogurt helps us keep breakfast spikes down.

Over the past few years, we have read more and more about the influence of gut bacteria in overall health, as well as its possible influence on diabetes. Like the hygiene hypothesis, I consider that it may be a significant aspect of health that we are progressively discovering (I have no ideology in this btw). But, on that basis, I feel that yogurt may be a really valuable component in a diabetic’s diet.

What do you think about yogurt? Do you find it easy, as we do, or hard to bolus for?
