Low Carb prescription food supplement drinks for T1 with low protein

While I was in hospital I found all the ones they gave me were far too sugary. Most of them are made of whey protien which to me tastes foul. Tried the soups,Meritene from Boots, they are about £5 a box for 4 , to me disgusting.
In the end I found some Nine seed bars, just under 10g carb, about 200cals and they have a fair amount of protein in them, its wether you can tolerate nuts and seeds. If you buy them from Amazon in a box for about 50p a bar, so I ate about four a day. Got my husband to by me wafer thin ham and snacked on that, because I am supposed to be lowish fat. I found meat snacking was the easiest way to increase my protien intake. I didn't eat properly for nearly three months so I literally did it a mouthful at a time

Hello, have you checked them out? https://www.purition.co.uk/keto-smoothies/

I haven’t tried them so I wouldn’t know if it tastes good.

Low carb, low protein, the only macro nutrients that can be added in will be fat and fibre with non calorie sweetener.

I have! Pre dx. They are really quite nice. Although at the time I made them with banana or other fruit.
I liked the fact they weren't full of nasties.

I don't have your issues but have found CarbKilla bars to be usefully low carb high protein.

This is the smoothie and drinks section for low carb/keto to which you could add protein powder (whey isolates are best). These may well have extra vitamins and minerals in from natural ingredients but perhaps you could get some advice from a dietician given your problems absorbing at the moment.
Having said the above, if you need to gain weight you will need to eat more carbs as taking the extra insulin required will help you lay down fat/muscle; if you simply spike your blood sugars by eating sugary foods/drinks you will pee a lot out before your body can use it! So it is the opposite advice to that usually given on this site: snack and eat high quality carbs with protein and vitamin supplements.

These were my Christmas treat, instead of a mince pie, 5.9g carb and only about £1.90 for four
