I've seen it mentioned in threads that diabetics shouldn't eat dairy. I think it is ok as long as its moderate and your body is okay with it. A nutritionist said that a slice of cheese on a McMuffin for example wasn't bad. I occasionally have some skim milk w cereal or a donut and haven't had any issues. I'm finding too much of anything is bad...small portions eating often seems to work. Sadly its more about managing life than living it seems.
You have to ballance you dairy products. For instance, skim milk has more sugar then whole milk, but it has less fat. So if you are somebody that burns fat without a problem, you are probably better off with whole milk or 2%.
I've found that skim milk causes a rise in my blood sugar, but whole milk doesn't.
Cheese can be good, but again you have to check the scales on what you are getting.
For a long time I've kept a log of everything I eat. Each item is listed along with the fats, cholesterol, potassium (I'm low), sodium, and carbs. By keeping this log I've been able to go back and take a look at times that my blood sugar was on the rise and investigate exactly what was causing it. It's something I can check over time. To eat one meal that causes a spike is easy to figure out, but watching long term really helps you understand what is going on.
I find dairy ok, if I'm careful. Oh, I did want to mention one thing and that is cheese can be nasty as far as sodium is concerned.
Fats will slow the absorption of small amounts of carbohydrate, but that's not a license to eat fatty sugary stuff. However, it does mean that full-fat milk will have less impact on blood sugar than skim (which tastes nasty anyway).

If he's eating donuts, I don't think he's really worried about sugar . At least the milk has some nutritional benefit.
Only had two donuts...but that was it with the milk. One day I had a third and threw up.
