Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by multiple causes. It is caused by defects in insulin secretion and (or) utilization. It can cause long-term metabolic disorders of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It can cause multi-system damage, resulting in chronic progressive diseases, functional decline and failure of tissues and organs such as eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. Severe metabolic disorders such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemia can occur when the disease is severe or stressed. Diabetic patients can also eat protein powder, because protein powder mainly contains protein, protein accounts for 15% to 20% of total calories per day. However, if combined with diabetic nephropathy, especially when it comes to diabetic nephropathy uremia, it is not recommended to eat these protein powders, because protein powders on the market are some plant protein powders.
