Protein Shakes Stabilize Diabetics’ Blood Sugar
From the American Society for Clinical Nutrition:
The constant struggle diabetics face to monitor and maintain stable blood sugar levels may have just become much easier, according to a new European study. Published in the July 2005 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the study found that supplementing high-glycemic meals with protein shake supplements helped keep blood sugar levels near their normal levels in many type 2 diabetics (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 82, No. 1, 76-83, July 2005). When the shakes were replaced with other protein sources, such as lean meats, the stabilizing effect was much more muted.
If you’re interested in protein shakes, these protein shake options are low-glycemic and have been independently proven not to spike blood sugar levels.
