no. i dont think so. protien powder alone will raise blood sugar on keto. its been too long but there was a report circulating the forums confirming this. when @bebeav did that breakfast comparison, i had significant fat. i think to do this test you have to add fat to the protein drink.protien powder which uses the right sweetners shouldn't raise blood glucose.
Yes they do.Do most powders list their sweetness?
That's a thing i need to try.i might have missed something reading this thread but i didnt see anything about fat. are you taking your protein shakes with a fat added? if doing keto without enough fat, you will get gluconeogenesis. could that not have given you a reading?
I am not eating sugar until the next time I decide to have a bit of a cheat meal. But when I do, I'll try to remember to take my blood sugars. Sicne your type 1, we will respond quite differently. It also depends on what stage of type 2 someone is at with how they respond to sugars.
I do have some canada protien misceuar casien at my house. I don't like it because it turns to glue unless you use a LOT of water with it. But I'll try it out and test the blood sugars. I might have time to do it later tonight actually.
The Canada protien isolate is a lot sweeter then their miscellar casein.. So I wouldn't expect a big difference in how much they raise blood sugars.
Like I said earlier I think its very dependant person to person with how much protien it takes and how their receptors/insulin responds for how they go into glucogenisis. I'd be really interested in finding a way to test for glucogeneiss. Be good to know the magical number for protien per meal you can have without it converting.
My doctor was very clear with me ssying I would never have to deal with glucogensis because my blood sugars are simply too high for my body to go into a mode to convert protien through glucogensis. He coudl be wrong, who knows.. But you being a type 1 woudl probably have to worry about glucogenissi because your blood sugars would drop easily below the level your body wants because of your type 1.
Jus to try it, tomorow i'm gonna have a shake with CP whey + MCT oil and will see the result.
Plain whey baseline, is what i tested first.ya, i think that would be what you got to do. just some plain whey to test baseline
Yeah, ordered it yesterday!The fat will slow things down and not raise blood sugars as much..
since your working with funnyman, I'm sure he's mentioned to read the Aitkins diet book.. good for learning about blodo sugars
Canadian Protein Whey Vanilla (30g serv size, 2g carbs - 2.5g fats - 24g prot) 1 scoop result in a 4.5 mmol/l rise so at least 20g carbs here also

Oh interesting, gonna order a tub soon!!Kaizen makes a great protein powder, Kaizen Naturals, no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, From grass fed cows.
2 g of sugar in a 25 g serving. No gut issues and keeps my glucose spikes right down. I also test my blood with different foods, and supplements.
