A member asked:
Is special k protein drink good for a diabetic meal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Food, in restricted amounts, is much better for meals than any shake, drink, supplement or substitute -- no matter whether you have diabetes or not. These meal replacements are only an attempt to make money on products that have no use.
