The benefits of yoghurt have been documented in community-based prospective studies as well as in meta analysis of numeral studies.
(Representational Image)Could yogurt hold the secret to reversing your prediabetes, where your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but still not enough to make you a diabetic?
According to a new study in Iran, that tracked over 300 participants for nine years, daily consumption of full-fat yoghurt (200 g) helped them reverse hyperglycaemia and prevent its progression to Type 2 diabetes.
Dr Jasjeet Singh Wasir, Director, Endocrinology and Diabetology, Medanta, Gururgam, agrees that yoghurt can potentially benefit people with prediabetes as Indians tend to progress very quickly to full blown diabetes.
“However, it will be incorrect to say that yoghurt alone will reverse prediabetes unless backed up by other corrective measures,” he adds.
