Sounds like you do a very good job of controlling your blood sugar, too!

Anyway, I am using 1 scoop Jarrow carribean chocolate whey (5 g carb)

and 2 scoops Source Naturals True Whey Plain (2 grams carbs total) plus

the half and half makes my shake around 15 g total. It sure doesn't last

me very long though, no way is a whey shake a meal replacement. And I do

feel like my blood sugar drops within about an hour or less, much like I

had eaten a candy bar or some other high sugar source. Since there is so

little carb in the whey shake and so much protein (34 gm) I fail to

understand why the hypoglycemic attack after a whey shake?
