Protein Shakes Help Outsmart Diabetes The constant struggle diabetics face to monitor and maintain stable blood sugar levels may have become much easier, according to an European study. Published in 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. When the shakes were replaced with other protein sources, such as lean meats, the stabilizing effect was much more muted. Researchers plan further studies on the ability of low-glycemic foods such as protein shake powder to achieve a muting effect on blood sugar after the consumption of particularly starchy foods.
