Yes: But you need to look at the carb & sugar content and balance your diabetic meds accordingly.

Read below: Nutrilite protein powder is still a protein supplement. Excessive protein in your system may lead to blockage of the arteries in your good leg. To be on the safe side i would consult with your endocrinologist or a nutritionalist. You don't want to lose the other leg.
