The study also conducted a placebo experiment with the same group of people. Participants were told to do a second experiment, but this time the whey protein was replaced with a placebo without any nutrients. After comparing the data, it is proved that drinking whey protein before meals in diabetic patients can help control blood sugar. The study was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) journalBMJ Open》
The research team believes that there are two reasons why whey protein is effective, one is to slow down the speed of food through the digestive system; the other is to stimulate a certain number of hormones to prevent high blood sugar.
The research team pointed out that most of the previous whey protein-related experiments were carried out in the laboratory, this is the first time in people’s daily life, and the compliance of the participants is quite high. In the future, they plan to scale up the experiment, extend the time to 6 months, and study whether other sources of protein, such as soy protein, are equally effective.
