9. Can't hurt to include yoghurt in your diet.

Just stay away from the ones that aren't your basic unsweetened no sugar or fruit added ones, which is most of them.

Locally that is called 'Greek yoghurt' and it is sour.

Does it help avoid getting type 2 diabetes, or controlling it?

I'm guessing reading the labels of stuff you buy for sugar content is more helpful.

(Currently I'm waiting to see my blood work results to see if my HbA1c shows I've been a Good Boy lately. I'm at the controlling type 2 stage, not avoiding it.)
