Protein powder

As a snack I use Huel Complete Protein. It's 20g protein, 3g carbs per serving and only 105 calories. Means I have less work to do in the gym with it being so calorie low. For my taste, the chocolate brownie one is best.
 
I use whey protein isolate sometimes in the afternoon - I find it helps stop the late afternoon slump that would leave me craving sugar. I also sometimes drink it to 'offset' a carb-heavy meal (as recommended by my dietician). Obviously having sugar now has the opposite effect to what it used to before T2D! If you're going to use it I recommend a bullet blender as you get a much better texture to it if you blend it.
 
I used diet fuel ultralean as a meal replacement when i was going through cancer treatment . It has about 25g of protein and about 12g carbs per serving. usn is the make. Strawberry was ok.
 
I have diabetes like you, but when I was at the doctor's appointment, he told me that protein powder is contraindicated for me. I decided to ask him why and he said that every person who has been diagnosed with diabetes cannot consume protein. However, there are exceptions, but unfortunately I am not included in it. I decided to replace the protein with something and found Peptides for Sale, where it was said that peptides can replace protein that I can't consume. I was very pleased with the purchase and now I'm not worried about my health. I want to tell you that it is best to consult with your doctor about how you can replace protein if you cannot use it. I wish you good health and good luck!

Could these proteins be bad for the liver?

I've used a protein powder (very low carb) to make mug cakes. Just like a teaspoon, or two, then 1 egg, tiny amount of baking powder, stevia or erythritol, or both for a bit of sweetness, and butter, or cream, or coconut oil, or olive oil.

It was so good. But I've stopped, thinking all that protein could be harming my liver, as I already eat quite a lot of protein from cheese, fish and chickpeas.

'every person who has been diagnosed with diabetes cannot consume PROTEIN' ??????
Are you sure you heard correctly? and it was not CARBOHYDRATE he said.
Protein and healthy fats are the foods which many base their dietary regime on.

It is possible to have too much protein, looking on the internet, but you'd have to go it some to do it probably and it also depends on your overall intake, your own body size (I think). I have some figures somewhere, can't find them just now.

Just have a scan around the internet and you will find the information you need.

Never heard of protein excess being a liver disease risk? There are I believe well-recognised kidney risks for people with existing kidney disease. FWIW, when I was looking into protein consumption, I found reasonable expert consensus that anything <= 2g per kg shouldn't be a risk for most people in reaonable health. But definitely talk to a doc or deititian if you want to get an actual qualified opinion.
