Let us understand what is MILK?

Milk is a customized food for the baby in the womb. The production of the milk in mother’s body starts with the conception. This food is for the specific baby being developed in the womb.

  • It is the most simplest food for that specific baby.
  • If this is consumed by any other individual, it is a complex food.

If the MILK is from any other species, the complexity increases.

The complex food takes up more vitality in its digestion and assimilation process.

When a body undergoes consistent overspend of VITALITY, it has high chances of being enervated.

Enervation, as consequence, reduces the toxin elimination from the body.

Eventually, TOXINS get accumulated in the body.

Accumulation of toxin or TOXAEMIA is the single disease that we suffer from.

Wherever the toxins get accumulated, it surfaces as different symptoms.

  • If it is in the arteries, the symptom is named as heart disease.
  • If it is in the joints, the symptom is given with the name arthritis.

etc.

Yes, if the pancreas is affected, it is usually called as Diabetes!

Yes, definitely it does.

All animal products including milk are high fat, high protein , no fibre products. So sugar level shoots up. A sugar patient can check this easily by monitoring sugar levels after milk intake. For my mom, just giving up all dairy products brought down her sugar levels from 300's to 200's range.

Cow's milk is also high in IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor) hormone which spikes blood sugar level.

I would advise you to read "Reverse diabetes in 21 days" book by Dr Nandita Shah. It is an info packed book available on Amazon.

High sugar is outcome of diabetes. Milk doesn't have sugar in it but it has high protein and fats which causes diabetes.

High fat/ proteins leads to diabetes 

Beyond this correct way to look at this is Milk.

Nature has provided milk for infants and for each species. 

Only Humans breaks both rules 

First continue to have milk beyond infancy
Second consume milk of other species

Hence , we suffer

Blood sugar levels are controlled by a hormone called insulin. And the commercial milk available these days is full of artificial hormones given to the cows/buffaloes to secrete more milk. Artificial hormones interfere with our body's hormones in their functioning. And that is one reason to avoid dairy, irrespective of whether you have diabetes or not.

And even if you are able to procure a variety of milk which is w/o artificial additives......dairy is acidic in nature. If one has diabetes, it is an imbalance in the body. Our body has an amazing self-healing mechanism which we must support by eating natural foods such that the body's acid-alkaline balance can be maintained. Diabetes or any other disease most likely means acidic body....why do you want to still take dairy? Your focus should be to include more alkaline foods.

I'll suggest you read a few stories in the journeys section of wellcure, especially the ones on diabetes. You will realise going off dairy is a common step that has helped all.

Hope I could be of some help!! All the best.

Yes, it does and so does all kind of food. 

When we eat, the food is broken down into sugars most of which is glucose. 

In a healthy/non-diabetic person this sugar is regulated by Insulin which is produced by Pancreas.  Insulin directs or rather ushers this glucose to various cells in the body for varied purposes.  Some of it is converted to short-term energy for immediate cell use and some is stored as long-term energy (fat) for later use.  

In a diabetic patient (Type I- inadequate insulin or Type II- ineffective insulin) the insulin doesn't do its job effectively and as a result the sugar remains in the blood instead of being absorbed by the cells and this condition we know as "increased blood sugar".

Animal protein, milk being one of them, has been found to be directly related to a dysfunctional pancreas (Won't go in detail). 

The concern is not whether milk raises blood sugar or not but the fact that it definitely doesn't let pancreas work efficiently and in extreme cases damages it thus causing Type-I Diabetes which has lately become very common the world over primarily because milk has become accessible and is considered cheap source of protein and fat.

So, hoping to cure diabetes or managing sugar levels without giving up animal protein is like living in a dreamland.

Just to clarify, Diabetes Type 2 is something that most of world’s population is affected with. Type 1 diabetes is rare ( 1/30th of Type 2 diabetes).
Type 2 diabetes is a concern of insulin resistance or insensitivity that is larger amount of insulin which is needed to keep blood sugar levels in check or metabolise blood sugar.

Dairy intake, you see, stimulates insulin secretion. However, Lactose (a sugar) present in dairy doesn’t even have a big insulin effect when compared to other carbs. This is surprising to some, since the general understanding is that insulin is released primarily in response to carbohydrate intake. With dairy, it’s the protein plus the carbs that are responsible for the large insulin secretion. Both skim and whole milk elicit significant insulin responses; Cream and butter are not particularly insulinogenic, while milk of all kinds, yogurt, cottage cheese, and anything with casein or whey, including powders and cottage cheese, elicits a significant insulin response.
