For a 39-year-old female with diabetes for 10 years, buffalo milk is not ideal because it contains almost double the fat and calories of cow milk. High fat content slows digestion but still adds excess calories and saturated fat, which can worsen insulin resistance and raise cholesterol. Though the glycemic index of milk is low (around 30 to 35), the high fat in buffalo milk increases overall glycemic load and can blunt insulin response over time. If milk is needed, prefer cow milk or double-toned milk, as these provide protein and calcium with less fat. If only buffalo milk is available, boil and cool it, remove the full cream layer, and use the top clear portion in small quantities (about 100 to 150 ml once or twice daily). Avoid taking it with sugar, malted powders, or biscuits. Combine it with high fiber breakfast options such as oats or brown rice flakes for better sugar stability. Buffalo milk is best avoided for regular diabetic use, especially when other low-fat options exist. A consistent diet, moderate physical activity, and correct timing of meals will help control blood sugar far better than high-fat dairy.
