MILLIONS of Type 2 diabetes sufferers could help manage their condition for less than £1 a day by simply eating whey protein before breakfast.
Ground-breaking research shows that just a small amount reduces blood sugar spikes after meals and also improves the body’s *insulin response.
Nearly three million Britons suffer from Type 2 diabetes, where the body does not produce enough *insulin or it fails to work properly.
Researchers discovered that whey protein, often used by athletes and weightlifters to improve fitness, stimulates the production of a gut hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which boosts insulin.
The study, carried out by researchers in Israel and published in the journal Diabetologia, involved 15 people with controlled Type 2 diabetes who were only taking diabetes drugs sulphonylurea or metformin for the condition.
