Tea with Milk (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and Russian Protein (100 G)

Check the protein product label for added sugar, maltodextrin, syrups, rice flour, or large amounts of lactose; choose an unsweetened or low-carbohydrate version with no added sugars.

Prepare tea without sugar, honey, jam, or sweetened creamer; use a smaller amount of unsweetened milk or choose an unsweetened milk alternative.

Have the protein and tea after or alongside a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats rather than on an empty stomach.

Reduce the serving size of the protein powder or drink, then monitor your glucose response to find a portion that causes a smaller rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do light activity soon after drinking it, if this is safe for you.

Record the product, amount of milk, timing, and glucose readings; if medium spikes persist, discuss the pattern with your clinician or diabetes educator.
