How bad is milk..

[milosmommy]

Just saw post where it was mentioned about sugar difference in yogurts. Then mentioned dry kibble can raise levels.
So how bad is 2% milk. How much could that raise levels. Didn't even think and Milo has no more than 3 tbsp of milk/day. Which now that I really think is a lot.
Any safe alternative?

The offending ingredient, lactose, is broken down in Lactaid and CatSip products.
As a treat, limited amounts may be OK; you'll just want to see how it impacts Milo's numbers by testing about 30 minutes after feeding some.

He has small amount at shot time. So intent on drinking doesn't realize I'm injecting him

I was told that Cat-sip is 11% carb.

The dose makes the poison - 11% of 1-2 teaspoons isn't likely to have much impact, particularly if followed by low carb, high protein food to "dilute" it.

During Dusty's first few days on Lantus he had a bad constipation episode and I gave him some 2% milk to soften his stool. It worked to get him unplugged and I didn't see any spikes in his blood glucose levels.
