Milk (Full Fat)
दूध · పాలు
Whole buffalo or cow milk, consumed daily in most Indian households. Low GI — the fat and protein slow lactose absorption.

Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Plain warm milk is an excellent low-GI drink. Avoid adding sugar or Horlicks/Bournvita which raise GI. Turmeric milk (haldi doodh) is a great nighttime option.
