Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Since the patient is diabetic, first and foremost need is to control her blood glucose effectively with Fasting < 100 mg & PP 160 to 180 mg & HbA1c%<7. Since there is no mention of either blood glucose levels or HbA1c% and weight, it is difficult to comment. As regards loose motions on taking milk, it is possible she may be having lactose intolerance. In such a situation milk will not be suitable. Thanks.

She may be having lactose intolerance. As such there is no treatment for this problem. She may try lactose free milk, she is very much fond of milk she can try small amount at a time and if she does not have any problem can take that and gradually increase the quantity milk. If she can't tolerate even a small amount of milk then she should avoid it.
