Healthy Habits
Protein and Blood Sugar
Protein affects satiety and meal composition and can influence post-meal glucose patterns when combined with carbohydrate and fat.
Health note: This page is educational and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. Supplements can interact with medicines and may not be appropriate for everyone. If you use glucose-lowering medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a medical condition, discuss supplements with a qualified health professional.
Mixed meals behave differently
A carbohydrate eaten alone can produce a different response from the same carbohydrate eaten as part of a mixed meal.
Individual needs vary
Protein needs can change with age, activity, kidney function and other health factors. Personalized advice may be appropriate.
