Hi Full cream milk also known as whole milk has all the nutrients and fat. It is more creamier and full of flavor. Where as toned milk has lesser amount of fat and calories when compared to full cream milk and is usually suggested to those who need to watch on their weight. Diabetics need to keep a watch on their cholesterol and weight and hence toned milk is preferred. If you have a good control of diabetes, cholesterol and have maintained an ideal weight with regular exercise then you can take full cream milk.
