Yes, at a normal serving (1 katori (150 g)) and as part of a varied diet. Use as the default meal partner - but keep dairy four hours from your thyroid tablet if you take one.
Curd has a glycemic index of approximately 35, which puts it in the low range. At a typical serving of 1 katori (150 g), the glycemic load works out to about 3 — low. Glycemic load is the more useful number, because it accounts for how much you actually eat.
Use as the default meal partner - but keep dairy four hours from your thyroid tablet if you take one. Curd is already a protein source, so the thing to watch is what it is served with — the rice, roti or bread beside it is usually where the glucose load comes from.

This is general dietary information, not medical advice. If you take insulin or a sulfonylurea (glimepiride, glipizide, gliclazide), reducing your carbohydrate intake — or adding foods like bitter gourd or fenugreek that lower glucose on their own — can cause hypoglycemia. Talk to your doctor before making changes, and monitor your glucose while you do.
