help please

i have a friend who has a question about whey protein. can a diabetic with insulin dependant use whey protein? would it hurt or help? would it raise her blood sugar at all?

I am not a Dr or dietician, but I'd venture to guess it would be OK cuz it has hardly any carbs. Once digested protein can be converted to glucose in the body if it needs it, but that process takes time and probably doesn't cause much of an insulin spike. Am I on target? Any medical opinions out there???

anyone else?

I also think it is OK to eat whey when you're diabetic
