If I replace milk in pancakes with water, will the resulting dish be more suitable for diabetics?

That is: will it have a lower glycemic index?

I don’t know what type of diabetes you have, but as a type 2 I wouldn’t be worrying about what liquid I used in my pancake mix. I’d be more worried about the carbs in the wheat flour.

I'm thinking that they might be better off googling something like almond flour pancakes?

Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.

Agree with the above. I use unsweetened Almond milk in anything that needs milk. Works well.

I have found that my glucose meter is usually in disagreement with the glycemic index

Would plain Greek yoghurt be a useful alternative? You could always dilute with water if too thick.

I can't eat wheat flour pancakes no matter what type of liquid I use. Ground almonds or coconut flour for me.

No.
Sorry.
Chaffles (cheese waffles) are a good alternative for some things, the same mixture made in a frying pan will make wraps.
