Depends on how many carbs your particular diabetes can handle and how much of the yoghurt you'll eat at one meal.
Do you use a meter to see how you react to food? Some T2's do perfectly well on 150 grams of carbs over the day, others still go high at 20 carbs a day.

At 8.5 gr. carbs per 100 grams it's almost 40 grams of carbs for the whole tub.

Depends how much of it you eat.
8.5% carbs so too high for me.
I go for plain greek yoghurt at around 4% carbs and limit the quantity.

I'd rather have bacon thanks.

Edit to add in fact I have coffee with cream and don't eat until mid afternoon sometimes bacon then...

What about you test before breakfast and after breakfast to see if it works for you? There realy is a lot of variation in how people react to carbs. From another post of yours I gather you have a meter so you can use it to find out the answer to your question.

Is this all the breakfast you have or do you eat something else with it?

Rule of thumb: Everything that's "light" usually is carby. Better to go for full fat varieties, as with light products they usually take the fat out and put the flavour back in by adding carbs to compensate. Fats are good. Carbs are not.

I'd not use it.

For me its fine, is just a case of eating and testing. If your on a Keto diet it might be too much, but if your just lowering carbs it could be ok.

East, test then you will know every one is different

It sounds like the normal amount of carbs for a no-sugar yogurt with added fruit; similar to the ones I have. I only have about 100gm per day which is reasonable. Check that the yogurt only has fruit added and no other carbs.

Definitely not for me - if I want some fruity yoghurt, I eat normal (not reduced fat) Greek yoghurt with some added fresh fruit. But what you eat is your choice, and you should definitely test to see how you get on with it, and use the results to make your decision.

I totally agree with Jo regarding light/low fat, as I see no logic whatsoever in taking all the fatty goodness out of any food, then adding unnecessary carbs to replace it. I had the misfortune to sample the original reduced fat yoghurts before they started adding stuff to make them palatable again, and it was like eating watery chalk.

If you want a good yogurty breakfast tip, I'm finding that most days I actively enjoy and look forward to 100g of Fage 5% fat Greek Yoghurt (3g carbs) with 40g of Dry Roasted Peanuts on top (4g carbs) - good flavours and nice textures. Keeps me going until lunch with no problems.

Go for full fat Greek yoghurt and fresh fruits of your choice

Like others have said - test it. Whilst full fat has fewer carbs and you would be better off having that it will do no harm to try it. If it increases your BS too much lesson learnt. The problem with yoghurt is that the carb content varies so much depending whether they are full fat, low fat, with fruit etc. I’ve managed to find some low fat ones that are no more than 9g carbs which I am happy with.
