By Katrina Woznicki, MedPage Today Staff Writer. Reviewed by Ethan A. Halm, MD, MPH; Associate Professor in the Departments of Medicine and Health Policy at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

# Encourage patients to include low-fat dairy, such as skim milk, into their daily diets. Low fat dairy intake has been found to be associated with a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes.

# Research from the Health Professional Follow-Up study suggests low fat dairy may have favorable effects on body weight, hypertension, and abnormal glucose homeostasis, through which it might help lower type 2 diabetes risk.

# Skim milk appeared to be the most protective. High-fat dairy did not significantly reduce the risk of diabetes."
