There has been conflicting data with respect to whether dairy consumption affects risk for type 2 diabetes. The study linked here suggests that the outcomes of dairy vs. diabetes depends on both the type of dairy consumed and the baseline glycemic status (normal, prediabetes, etc.) people have before changing their diets. The conclusion:
Associations of dairy with incident prediabetes or diabetes varied both by dairy product and type and by baseline glycemic status in this middle-aged US population. Baseline glycemic status may partially underlie prior equivocal evidence regarding the role of dairy intake in diabetes.
Of course, dairy can have other effects besides diabetes. It’s helpful (in general) for colon cancer and osteoporosis, but excessive dairy is a problem for prostate cancer. High fat dairy may be helpful for diabetes, in some contexts, but poses a problem for other disorders. Then there is the problem of lactose intolerance for those who exhibit that. I would suggest each person talks to their health care professional about that is best in their case and, always, to practice moderation. Too much of anything can be a problem.
