This info comes from the Mayo Clinic USA who are a centre of excellence for diabetes care:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/whey-protein/safety/hrb-20060532

My GP, my diabetes consultant, and the manager of local Holland & Barrett all advised me not to use whey protein products because they are contraindicated by many of the meds I take.
Very interesting link, thanks. It seems whey protein can be good and/or bad for diabetics, leaving aside the question of drug interractions. I'd have thought a tablespoon sprinkled on my morning porridge would do no harm, but of course like so many supplements it might do no good either.
