LAST MONTH We Asked:
In last month’s edition of Diabetes Bites, we asked how many grams of dietary protein are suggested (per day) for the average non-athlete who weighs 150 lbs (68 kg).
And the winner is…Gary Rind, T1D from Houston, TX, USA, for being the first person with a correct answer!
ANSWER:
Approx. 55 grams of protein
Many people with diabetes consume insufficient protein, which is a shame because protein is necessary for many aspects of healthy living and has minimal impact on glucose levels… at least when consumed along with carbohydrates.
Protein requirements vary based on body size and activity level. To learn more, contact a member of the Integrated Diabetes Services clinical team.
