Reactive hypoglycemia and Whey protein

[EnhancedFatGrappler]

Hey Gang.

I get the weirdest Reactive hypoglycemia from drinking pure Whey protein in Water, or in fat-free Milk. My HBa1c was always below 5 on my recent labs, my morning fasted glucose is usually around 75-80. I don't have any issues with blood sugar otherwise ( be it high or low, I get back to baseline after my meal quite quickly, despite being a fat fuck)

Normally I would prefer to eat just something for my protein, but the next few months will be really busy and I need to use a bit of protein shakes to get in my daily protein. I could try those ready to drink Protein Shakes, but they are a bit too pricey for my cheap skate ass to be honest .

Got any tipps?

Consume a piece of fruit(easy to carry) that has a good fructose content...grapes, raisins, pear, watermelon, etc.

I used to get the same problem. It usually happened when I was on tren. Are you currently on tren? Anything else like insulin or T3?

Throw some dextrose in your shake

Do you take anything to reduce blood glucose? Insulin, metformin, glps, anything?

Haven't really heard of people going hypo off whey protein, if they're not taking anything else to lower blood glucose, unless you maybe A) had the most intense workout of your life and your body has burned through most of its glucose/glycogen or b) maybe there's some mechanism with the whey you're consuming that triggers your pancreas to produce insulin endogenously (ive heard thing like sweeteners like stevia can do this although I have no science to back this theory up--seems purely bro science)

At worst, like others said just add some dextrose or fruit if you're going hypo. What does your blood sugar come in at when you start feeling the hypo bouts come on?

very simple - try adding some xanthan gum or guar 1-2g to the shake

Or buy muscletech whey and it's probably half maltodextrin

Skynet says that whey isolate does induce an insulin response by itself due to

Large amount of aminos
Fast digesting
Bioavailability

Yeah the amino acids would make more sense why it would trigger an insulin response. That's actually interesting

I guess some people have enough leisure time that they can go through every single post someone makes.

The fact that's how you're spending your Friday night is a little sad though. It really speaks to the nothingness you have going on in your life.

Not hating though. If that's what gives your life purpose, meaning, and satisfaction, then troll on. You strike me as more of the miserable type looking for a cheap dopamine hit however

No need to derail this thread any longer though. If you want to continue the dialogue then message me, but personally I think you're too much of a pussy to put your ego aside

Are you that stupid to think you can talk this dumbass shit, wait two weeks, then try to talk to me like we’re cool? LMFAO

Nah man- fuck off

It also turns my ice-cream into a marshmallow if I use to much
