Sure: That should be a good way to maintain adequate protein intake. You want to avoid simple carbohydrates and fats.

Whey Protein's Great: Whey protein is a great source of all the essential aminoacids and easily digested by most and great for diabetics. I suggest if you want to control your blood sugar and lose weight, have it twice/day, each time 20 grams protein/serving, add half a cup of fruit (1/2 banana or a few berries) & some fiber like chia seed or flax seed to the shake and blend it up.It's tasty and helps with weight loss!
