I have recently been diagnosed with type two diabetes. Can I have milk shakes?

Milk Shakes

Hello @peterwood48 and welcome to the forum 
Milk contains lactose which is a form of sugar, added to that is pure sugar to sweeten the milk, so it's not a good combination for a type 2.

Hi and welcome Peter.
In short probably not very good for you.

Carbohydrates in whatever form aren't great for T2's... milkshakes are usually sweetened with sugar and if they contain milk with lactose then that's another carb so they are a double "bad" whammy.
