Summary

This study looks at whether drinking whey protein before meals can help older adults (ages 75-90) with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar levels steadier throughout the day. Over two 7-day periods, participants will take either a whey protein drink or a placebo before each meal. The goal is to see if whey protein reduces blood sugar spikes after eating and increases time spent in a healthy glucose range.
