You want to take control of your diabetes, and protein can be a powerful ally on your journey. Here’s how it supports you:


  1. Lower Glycemic Impact: Imagine protein as your shield against rapid blood sugar spikes. Unlike carbs, protein-rich foods have a low glycemic index, which means they slow down glucose absorption—helping you keep your blood sugar steady.


  2. Feel Fuller, Longer: Cravings can be your biggest challenge. Protein increases satiety hormones and reduces the hunger hormone, making it easier to resist carb cravings and avoid overeating—so you stay in control.


  3. Balanced Blood Sugar Response: Protein stimulates a moderate insulin response. It helps move glucose from your blood into your cells at just the right pace, avoiding those extreme highs and lows that make diabetes harder to manage.


  4. Build Lean Muscle, Boost Glucose Control: Think of muscle as your body’s secret weapon. Protein helps build and maintain lean muscle, which enhances your ability to use glucose effectively. More muscle means better blood sugar regulation.


Include healthy proteins like tofu, lean meats, eggs, dairy, legumes, Greek yogurt, and nuts in your daily diet and take the next step in your diabetes management journey.

You have the power. Protein is here to help you win.
