[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 106046, member: 15487"] I think you are right to be concerned if you consistently have an HgbA1c of 5.6%. That equates to an estimated average serum glucose of approximately 115 mg./dl. What is your typical fasting blood sugar upon arising? What are your typical blood sugars at one hour after a large mixed meal? At two hours? Regarding whey protein, have you tested and seen a rise in your blood sugar after its ingestion? I ask because there are studies indicating that whey protein can reduce post-prandial blood sugars in some patients, but has no effect or raises it in others. In my own case, I have noticed no real effect on blood sugar attributable to whey protein. Before you give it up, you might consider doing N=1 self-testing to see how it actually affects your blood sugar. FWIW, I tried egg protein once as an experiment. It did not dissolve at all well in water and I did not like the taste (also noticed no apparent effect on blood sugar either positive or negative). I went back to whey. [/QUOTE]
