[QUOTE="Neemo, post: 961498, member: 201892"] Hi [USER=138689]@The Rumon[/USER], Yes, taking protein is fine for diabetics, as long as you have no other underlying problems (kidneys). However, important to note that a lot of 'protein tubs' have carbohydrates - so look for one that is pure protein. Also, protein isn't a magical muscle builder. In order to 'grow muscle', a couple of things are required; [LIST=1] [*][URL='https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-requirements-for-creating-micro-tears-in-the-muscles']Micro tears[/URL]; basically lifting weights to overload muscles so that they repair and become bigger/stronger.

[/LIST] It is (more) difficult for a diabetic to bulk up, as it takes a lot of work to get insulin levels/BS under control - but it is achievable. [/QUOTE]
