Dairy and diabetes

So I don't know about you, but I'm confused about dairy. Some sources say it's inflammatory and insulinagenic. Others like these:

https://www.dairynutrition.ca/scientific-evidence/roles-on-certain-health-conditions/milk-products-and-type-2-diabetes-an-update
show a decreased risk of diabetes, particularly with full-fat cheese and yogurt. Yes, please!
If I wanted to test myself with a glucose meter after consuming dairy, if my blood sugar didn't spike after 30 min- 60 min, could I correctly infer that the dairy did not spike my insulin? Or do I have that whole concept wrong?

I think this goes back to the very N=1 protocol, that we're all different.
My understanding is similar to yours on the testing, but I think it is 30/60/120/180 or something... It's a New Zealand doc I remember talking about how to test it. Catherine something. @RalfLott - I know it wasn't her original work, I think it was based off of Dr. Weston Price. Do you remember the video I'm talking about?0
