Whey Protein (MusclePharm) (1 Serving) and Bananas (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long))

Try a smaller portion of banana, preferably less-ripe, and avoid having it alone with whey; very ripe bananas may produce a faster rise followed by a drop.

Blend whey with fiber and fat, such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or unsweetened Greek yogurt, to slow absorption and reduce rapid swings.

Replace some or all of the banana with lower-sugar fruit such as berries, cherries, apple, pear, or orange, and keep portions moderate.

Consider reducing the whey serving or splitting it into two smaller servings; whey can stimulate a strong insulin response in some people even when carbohydrate intake is modest.

Eat the shake alongside a balanced meal or snack containing protein, vegetables, and healthy fats rather than using it on an empty stomach.

If you have symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, confusion, fainting, or repeated low readings, discuss the pattern with a clinician or diabetes professional.
