Summary

This study looks at whether drinking whey protein twice a day can improve blood sugar and insulin levels in people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Researchers will measure blood sugar control and appetite in 40 adults aged 50-70 over two 7-day periods. The goal is to see if a simple dietary change can help manage blood sugar.
