Protein impact on BG

Hi all,

I have joined the new year health kick brigade and am trying to meet those protein macros .

I have been drinking a pre-mixed protein shake for breakfast (generally whatever brand is on offer). I have noticed that dosing based on just the carbs does not seem to cover it and am wondering if I should be taking the protein content and adjusting the amount of bolus I give?

I do also use clear protein powder (just add water) that has zero carbs and my BG does not react to this at all, it just seems to be the premixed milk based shakes that generally have around 15g carbs and 20g protein.
