Hi there,I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
i am very happy to know that your are working really hard to control your diabetes
In my opinion its not a good idea to depend on processed food supplements.
Taking plant protein like soya milk and animal protein like fish and chicken is far superior than depending on this kind of artificial processed foods.
Any food stuff taken Directly from nature will never hurt you.but processed food may do some harm
Try stopping Whey protein and check your sugars after a week

Hope I was able to help you.
If you have any further question fell free to write me back.I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Best Regards.
