Only 90 calories and 19 gr of protein!! Is suppose to help with blood sugar

and even weight loss - you sure do feel full if you drink it before meals

and wait about a half hour or so before eating.

I take a double whey shake, made with half and half. 34 gm protein, plus

the fat from the half and half. It doesn't fill me much. And within an

hour to 2 hours I'll have a low blood sugar attack if that is all I have

eaten. In terms of how I feel, how soon I need to eat again, and how my

blood sugar reacts it is almost as if I have eaten no protein at all.

Doesn't half and half contain too many carbs for you?

it's carbless as my husband and mom used it constantly while they attempted the

atkins diet ( yeah that was a joke for both of them)

Technically, yes, cream would be better. And I'd use cream in preference

if there was any sold where I live that I could safely eat.

Unfortunately ALL cream brands sold in my area contain carrageenan which

I'm allergic to. A couple times a year when I get to Wild Oats (340 mile

RT) I pick up cream without carrageenan. All I can get hold of. Then I

freeze it when I get back home. Previously frozen cream isn't as good as

cream that was never frozen, but it is better than no cream at all.

For my particular situation, half and half is the best I can do.

I suppose it depends on how much half- & -half one uses. USDA

food database lits half- & -half as containing 4.30 grams of carbs per

100 grams. So if one uses a tablespoon at a time, that is not much

carbs. But if one uses it a pint at a time, the carbs are

significant.

Yes they are, and I do consume it in pretty good amounts. But I am aware

of the carb load and try to compensate elsewhere. I use about 2/3 cup

for a whey shake. Per the USDA 1 cup of half and half has 10.41 grams of

carbohydrate. Even at a pint a day, that is only 21 grams of carbs.

What do you consider a good daily carb limit?

I'm also trying to find a little pocket carbohydrate counter, something

small enough to carry with me when shopping. I've looked at Amazon but

they all look like fair size books to me. I want something quite small

like the little calorie guides they used to sell in racks by the

checkout in grocery stores.

I have no hard and fast guidelines for carbs, other than the

fewer the better. I was using 2/3 vanilla whey (8 grams of carbs per

serving) plus 1/2 plain whey (1 gram of carbs). It tasted good, but

my blood sugars climbed 15 points (up to 145) in less than 2 weeks.

I take 4 doses of whey per day. Now that I have cut back to 1/4

vanilla and 3/4 plain, my blood sugars have dropped back to the 120s.

I keep diabetes sugar control thru diet and supplements with no

diabetic meds.

I thought that is where I remembered seeing them years ago, but the

store in my town doesn't have any, and I've been looking for a few

months. Next time I visit the bigger town east of us, I'll look there.

I take many supplements. Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl

L-Carnitine, Fenugreek, Gymnema Sylvestre, Vitabase blood sugar

formula, Gourdin, Cinnqmon powder, MSM, Niacinamide, sub-lingual B-12,

sub-lingual Melatonin, plus other supplements not specifically related

to diabetes.

Diabetic diet the docs say to eat I find to be garbage. Far too many carbs.
