Hello everyone. I was thinking to buy a whey protein powder for taking it after my workout. The one I am looking at does not have any carbs and almost no sugar as well. Just want to know whether it is safe for a Type 1 diabetic to drink protein shakes or not. The one I will be getting is Gold Standard 100% Whey. Here is what it contains: http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/images/100-whey-facts.jpg
Thanks a lot.

Perfectly safe - I use it post weight training.Just watch out for increased BG levels as a result of taking in a high volume of protein.

Awesome! But which one do you use? I was also looking at Arnold Whey Protein but Im confused whether to get that or the Gold Standard one.
