Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patch" data-source="post: 214847" data-attributes="member: 13526">Hi Ehlana.  Just to confirm - I have no idea of the effects of PCOS.  I did try using protein shakes (from the same site as you!) - but I found that they impacted my BG far WORSE than the shakes that had carbs in 'em.  (The Optislim Shakes have 20g, and the MyProtien stuff has <2g, I believe).I believe it was Phoenix that pointed out that in the total absence of carbs/sugar, the liver kicks in, and makes glucose of it's own (Glucogenesis???).  The problem with that is, in T2's, the liver produces around 3 times as much glucose as a "normal" persons liver!  Causing a spike in BG....Strange, I know!However, I'm sure there IS merit in using the MP shakes.  I'll shortly be combining 50% Optislim with 50% MP shake to "dilute" the sugar in them.  I'll report back on my BG readings.  The only problem I can foresee, is that in taking the MP shakes, I was completely full for MUCH longer, and had to miss meals because of this.Don't know if thi sis good, or bad...</blockquote>
