The effects of added whey protein to a pre ‐operative carbohydrate drink on glucose and insulin response

ConclusionThe addition of whey protein to a simple CHO drink did not change the insulin response in healthy individuals. The peak insulin responses to simple CHO with or without whey protein were lower than that previously reported with complex CHO drinks. The impact of simple carbohydrate drinks with lower insulin response on peri‐operative insulin sensitivity requires further study.
