Diabetics & Protein Help Please

Well it has been over a year and I have lost about 70 lbs, but I am diabetic, everything has gone great went to the doctor about 1 1/2 ago and he has lower my insuiln intake to  .2 every hour now, which is great, I know.

But in the process of all this my sugar levels have gone up, it is in the AM time, right after I have taken my protein & FF milk, I need my protein, but I just don't know what to do.

Does anyone have any ideas I can try to see if they help my surgar levels.

Please help.

Susan,

Sounds like your body is reacting to the protein, w/o the carbs. You probably need a little extra insulin to get you over the hump when you have the protein drink. You could test this by moving the protein drink to a different time of day.  I am diabetic as well and when I have protein in the AM, my sugar goes way up, but later in the day, I am fine.

Best,
Heidi
