My 81 yearold exRn mother bough me a donut that didn't have any sugar coating. I ate it with a glass of mild and my BG's went up over a 100 units.
Is milk part of the problem?
Yes.

Sounds unlikely. The problem with milk is the carbs, pure and simple. Your doughnut probably had 25 grams of carbs and the milk another 12 grams. So a 100 mg/dl increase in blood sugar isn't at all surprising.

I drink all the time when I'm hypo. Works quickly, although not as fast as glucotabs, but I hate those things. I pop a couple of them if I have to, but would rather have a banana or milk with some choc syrup added for even more sugar. I never drink milk without bolusing for it when my bg's are NOT low.

Donuts and milk are both high in carbs. Keep in mind it is carbs that raise BG. Yes, sugar is a carb. But it's no worse for you than the flour in the donut or the lactose in the milk in terms of raising the BG.

The starch in the doughnut may be as bad as any sugar coating for quickly raising blood sugar per unit mass.

Milk could VERY possibly be the cause. Why?? Because milk is loaded with sugar.

You've been feeling low, Beav? Sorry to hear it, and hope things pick up soon. ;-)
